Congress Must Block Illegitimate MAGA Slush Fund

In response to Donald Trump’s bogus lawsuit against his own IRS, the regime has concocted an illegitimate slush fund — using $1.8 billion in taxpayer money — from which it intends to disburse massive payouts to assorted Trump cronies, possibly including January 6 insurrectionists.

Public Citizen is among the leaders of an emergency, multi-organizational campaign to demand that Congress assert its legal and ethical duty to shut down Trump’s slush fund before it disburses even a single dollar of taxpayer money to MAGA criminals, crooks, and cronies.


To Every Representative and Senator

Actual people committed actual crimes on January 6. Others in Donald Trump’s orbit — including Trump himself — have committed crimes and engaged in an array of wrongdoing. These insurrectionists and criminals are not victims of a “weaponized” justice system, and you know it. They do not deserve pardons. And they do not deserve massive payouts from an illegitimate slush fund created in response to a bogus lawsuit to reward their “loyalty” to Donald Trump at the expense of American taxpayers. Congress must immediately assert its power of the purse, as granted by the Constitution of the United States, to block the fund from taking any money out of the Treasury and making any payments to anybody.
