Trump Corruption World Tour - the Stop Padding Presidential Pockets Act

Today, I'm introducing The Stop Padding Presidential Pockets Act. This bill requires reimbursement to taxpayers when Secret Service protection is used to advance the president’s private business interests. It prevents a sitting president or their immediate family from personally suing the Justice Department. It stops presidents and their families from soliciting donations for future presidential libraries while still in office. It requires a president to fully step away from personal business activity - or forfeit the income entirely. And it establishes regular financial reporting requirements for immediate family members who benefit from proximity to power. These are just basic safeguards. They would protect taxpayers, whoever occupies the Oval Office. The presidency is a public trust. It should never be used as a mechanism for private profit.
