TRUMP CORRUPTION OUT OF CONTROL

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 106 (Wednesday, June 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 106 (Wednesday, June 24, 2026)] [House] [Pages H4221-H4222] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRUMP CORRUPTION OUT OF CONTROL (Mr. AMO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. AMO. Mr. Speaker, Trump's corruption is out of control. Since taking office, he has increased his net worth by at least $4 billion, accepted a $400 million plane from a foreign country, routinely bought stock in companies doing business with the government, [[Page H4222]] and wasted $14 million of taxpayer money ruining the Reflecting Pool. He has tried to bully the IRS into a sweetheart deal that grants him tax immunity for life and, if he can get away with it, establishes a slush fund to pay off cop beaters. His kids and cronies are also getting rich. Trump intervened to secure Donald Trump, Jr., a $620 million deal with the Pentagon for his startup. Multiple Cabinet members have conveniently sold stocks right before one of Trump's erratic tariff announcements. His clan has made $2.3 billion in crypto schemes. Trump's priority is to enrich himself and his acolytes. My Republican colleagues need to stand up, do the right thing, and stop the grift, greed, and graft from further imperiling our democracy. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
