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 government corruption is a major problem, while federal filings revealed Trump's crypto businesses generated nearly $1.2 billion last year.
- The proposed bureau would mirror the False Claims Act, empowering individuals to recover stolen funds using a self-sustaining funding source similar to the Federal Reserve to ensure independence.
- Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla, Andy Kim, and Jeff Merkley are co-introducing the bill, while Public Citizen Co-President Lisa Gilbert said the issue has "reached new heights" under Trump.
- Schumer called the bill a "big, important first step" to restore trust, arguing Trump's policies have enriched his family while costing Americans at least $3,100 in higher costs.
