Demand Congressional Investigation of Trump Family UAE Corruption and National Security Threats

49 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing to demand immediate congressional action on the Trump family's corrupt financial entanglements with foreign governments that are compromising American national security and democratic integrity. Days before Trump returned to office in January 2025, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's national security adviser and brother of its president, secretly paid $500 million to acquire 49% of World Liberty Financial, a Trump family cryptocurrency startup. This represents the only known case of a foreign government official purchasing a major stake in a Trump company after his election. Sheikh Tahnoon chairs two Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth funds controlling $1.5 trillion in assets, and his investment gave him the power to name two board members to the Trump family company. The national security implications are staggering. Two weeks after MGX, another company chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon, invested $2 billion using a World Liberty stablecoin, the Trump administration scrapped Biden-era restrictions and allowed the UAE to purchase hundreds of thousands of advanced AI computer chips. US national security officials objected, warning that Emirati companies could share this critical technology with China for military purposes. How can we credibly claim the president is acting in American interests when his family stands to earn tens of millions in annual interest revenue from these UAE investments? The Trump family has generated $1.4 billion from crypto projects over the past year, with much of this money coming from foreign investors and government officials. Meanwhile, the administration has deregulated the crypto industry and disbanded the Justice Department's national crypto fraud unit established in 2022. When Justin Sun, a Chinese crypto billionaire, invested $75 million in Trump family projects, the SEC suspended its civil fraud case against him. Under any other president, these arrangements would trigger immediate congressional investigations and televised hearings. I expect you to demand a full investigation into these corrupt transactions, their impact on foreign policy decisions, and the national security risks they pose. Our democracy cannot survive when a president's personal fortune is intertwined with foreign governments seeking to influence American policy. What specific actions will you take to hold this administration accountable?
