Joseph, I know a lot is going on right now—and it's easy to miss the stories that don’t make the front page, but we have some important news that should not get swept under the rug.
Here are a few developments you might not have seen:Did you know that the Trump Organization has a total of 23 properties in various stages of development in foreign countries? And did you know that President Trump is actively profiting from those foreign business entanglements?
While Trump has handed management of his real estate portfolio to his sons, it’s hard to imagine that Trump is entirely separated from his businesses.
Consider one Trump-branded development in Serbia:
A planned Trump Tower in Belgrade recently faced protests from thousands of people because it’s set to be built on one of the most emotionally charged sites in the country.
And yet, earlier this month, Serbia’s government passed a special fast-track law just for this project.
Officially, it’s a private development. But the way the government moved so quickly suggests that Serbia may be trying to build political goodwill with the Trump administration by helping out a business that Trump profits from.
And it’s far from the first Trump-branded project that’s reportedly been expedited by a foreign government during Trump's second term—or the first to face backlash.
But Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied that Trump or his family engaged "or ever will engage" in conflicts of interest.
Joseph, here at CREW, we know that is fundamentally untrue.
According to CREW's tracking, Trump has already visited his own properties 139 times during this term alone—all at taxpayers’ expense. And foreign governments and special interests frequently host events there, funneling millions straight into the Trump family’s pockets.
Sadly, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Trump’s corruption. Here are a couple of other important stories:
Earlier this month, top Swiss business leaders arrived at the White House bearing lavish gifts. The CEO of Rolex presented a gold-plated desk clock, and the CEO of a gold refining company gave a two-pound gold bar engraved with the numbers 45 and 47, celebrating Trump’s presidencies.
Within a week, the president rewarded Switzerland with a massive tariff break, cutting duties from 39% to 15%.
Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned 1,600 people—including 18 politicians convicted of corruption charges, the billionaire founder of Binance, Rudy Giuliani and other allies tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, or supporters of his campaign.
Joseph, it is crystal clear: Donald Trump is the most corrupt person to ever sit in the Oval Office. If his first term was marked by self-dealing and graft, his second term appears intent on outpacing even that record.
That’s why the work we do at CREW is so critical. Time and time again, Trump gets away with these conflicts of interest, and we are dedicated to exposing them and holding him accountable.Thank you for your time,
