Stop Trump From Cashing In on Taxpayer Settlements
Donald Trump could turn your tax dollars into his next payday—and Congress could let him.
Trump is pursuing massive settlements with the federal government—potentially worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars—in cases involving agencies like the Department of Justice and the IRS. Taxpayer dollars meant to serve the public could end up enriching him instead.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is leading a bill to block Trump—and any president—from receiving these payouts. But it will only pass if public pressure makes inaction politically impossible.
No politician should profit off the government they once controlled. If Congress doesn’t act fast, Trump could exploit this loophole and cash in—using public money that should go to schools, healthcare, and communities.
If Trump gets away with this, it sets a dangerous precedent: powerful politicians can line their own pockets with taxpayer funds.
Thanks,
Mary
