You need to use your oversight authority to confront what is happening in this administration — and call it what it is: systemic corruption. Trump personally made over a billion dollars on crypto last year while simultaneously promoting and deregulating it. Two weeks before ICE sought a $220 million Taser contract, he bought roughly $5 million in Taser stock. Peter Navarro pressured the Pentagon into a $620 million contract with a firm linked to Donald Trump Jr. This isn't a pattern of coincidences — it's a pattern of graft.
The retribution side is just as alarming. The DOJ opened a criminal investigation against E. Jean Carroll after she won $88 million in civil damages against Trump. His administration has systematically targeted law firms, journalists, senators, and state officials who crossed him. The DOJ's public corruption unit was gutted from 40 attorneys down to two. That's not an accident — it's a deliberate dismantling of accountability.
Hold hearings. Demand documents. Refuse to let this become normalized. Every week without a congressional response is a green light for more of the same.
