Congress needs to act now to investigate and shut down the financial conflicts of interest stemming from Donald Trump's business dealings. The AP has done the investigative work — the grift is documented. What's missing is accountability from the people elected to provide it.
When a sitting or former president profits from business arrangements that intersect with public office, that is a corruption of the public trust. This isn't a partisan talking point. It's a structural problem that Congress has both the authority and the obligation to address. Hold hearings. Subpoena records. Pass enforceable ethics legislation with real teeth. The American public deserves to know who is paying, how much, and what they're getting in return.
