The American people are going through a serious cost-of-living crisis. Inflation is rising. Groceries are more expensive. Gas prices are higher,” said Lieu. “The Consumer Sentiment Index just reached its lowest level in 74 years. But who’s really doing well? Trump and his family.”
“Lieutenant, according to a report from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, Trump and his family have made over $9 billion during his presidency,” the congressman continued. “
The corruption in this administration is getting out of hand.”
Trump and his kids have treated this second presidency as a way to take everything they can get their hands on.
They’re making money through crypto schemes and getting huge deals that don’t make sense. This week, Eric Trump was seen bragging about a robotics company he’s part of that got a $24 million contract from the Pentagon. Money is flowing out of our pockets as taxpayers and straight into the huge bank accounts of Trump’s family.
“And last week, we saw again that there were strange market trades just before Donald Trump made statements about the Iran war!”
Lieu continued. “And this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Media reports have now looked into this and said these trades look really suspicious. And the only people who would know what Donald Trump is about to say before he says it are people close to him.”
“So I want the SEC to investigate all these suspicious market trades.
And if they don’t, I guarantee you a future administration will prosecute these criminals,” Lieu concluded.
Reports of insider trading inside the White House have been growing rapidly.
Every time Trump makes a big geopolitical announcement on Truth Social, there are large, suspicious trades happening right before the announcement, predicting what he’ll say. Only people close to Trump would have that information.
The BBC looked at trade volume data on various financial markets, comparing them to some of Trump’s “most significant market-moving statements.”
They found a “consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public.” In other words, Trump is manipulating the markets and using the power of the Oval Office to make money for himself and his allies. He has turned the White House into a Trump casino — and he’s rigging every game.
Mass prosecutions are the only way to end this institutional crisis.
Right now, with Donald Trump as president, we are no longer a nation of laws. Our government is being run like a mafia operation, and working-class Americans are the ones being hurt. It’s not enough to just vote these criminals out of office. We have to lock them up. Anything less than convictions and imprisonments will give a green light to future Republican administrations to run this exact same scheme.
