Nope, it's not normal for a president to have a growing crypto and foreign business empire that he refuses to divest from before taking office. Thanks for asking!.

And the only reason we know this is because we successfully sued to bring the apportionments database back online that shows what OMB Director Russell Vought was trying to do behind closed doors.

We don't know enough to say whether there was a genuine basis for this search, but this raises real questions about weaponization of law enforcement, and we've seen no signs of real checks to ensure against improper targeting.

NEW: Courts have fulfilled their constitutional responsibility by refusing to bless Trump's blatantly unconstitutional executive orders. So Trump has declared war on the courts, rather than simply filing appeals. Read @GreggNunziata and @NoahBookbinder:

The public should know the monetary cost of Trump's DC takeover, which undercuts DC's independence and raises concerns about Trump's move towards authoritarianism. We're investigating.

DC statehood now. If Trump’s authoritarian actions against DC are allowed to stand, the damage could extend far beyond the city limits.

The American people deserve to know exactly how much they are spending to have federal agents patrolling DC so that they can decide for themselves whether the benefits outweigh the costs. We're investigating.

We got records that show how DOGE has operated as a seemingly separate and unaccountable body within government agencies, for example by setting up a separate SBA X account. That lack of oversight is unacceptable. We're fighting back.

At first, Donald Trump saw crypto as a "scam.". But then, he apparently saw the chance to make money on it, and now it's by far the biggest source of his profits as president. And yes, it's a HUGE corruption risk.
