Citing Trump, Schumer Announces Bill to Create Anti-Corruption Bureau
The bill would let individuals recover stolen public money and create a self-funded bureau modeled on the Federal Reserve, Schumer said.
- On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act, calling President Donald Trump the country's "grifter in chief."
- A Brennan Center poll found 92% of voters believe corruption is a major issue, while federal filings revealed Trump took in nearly $1.2 billion through crypto businesses last year.
- The proposed bureau would mirror the False Claims Act and utilize a self-sustaining funding source similar to the Federal Reserve to prevent executive interference.
- Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla of California, Andy Kim of New Jersey, and Jeff Merkley of Oregon are co-introducing the bill; the White House has not responded to comment requests.
- Schumer called the bill "a big, important first step," claiming Trump's policies have enriched his family by billions while costing Americans at least $3,100 in higher costs.
