Rep.Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is aware that Donald Trump Jr.is using secret information in an illegal way to boost his venture capital company, 1789 Capital, and he wants to make sure Donald Jr.is held responsible for breaking the law.
Raskin wrote that with Donald Jr.’s new position, 1789 Capital has become really good at finding companies that are going to get a lot of money from the Trump administration or benefit from big changes in federal laws and rules.
He said, “They say there’s no such thing as a sure thing in investing, but this is about as close as you can get.”
Raskin asked 1789 Capital to give him all their records about conversations with government officials and a complete list of the companies they have invested in.
He also said, “It is impossible to believe that your firm’s big growth and success are because of anything other than using inside political information and being deeply corrupt.”
In January 2025, 1789 Capital was only worth $200 million.
Now it is worth about $3 billion.
Raskin pointed out that it’s impossible for a venture capital firm, which works like a big gambling business, to make that much money without losing money somewhere along the way.
With the way President Trump is acting every day, it’s clear that Donald Jr.
is making money through insider information, and he needs to be charged and sent to jail for what he’s done.
