** Demand Transparency! Urge House Oversight: Investigate Trump’s Inauguration Fund ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Friend,
Despite repeated calls for transparency, the incoming president continues to withhold critical details about who is funding his extravagant inauguration. With Trump’s history of cozy relationships with authoritarian leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, it’s time to ask: Who is pulling the strings?
Inauguration funds can open doors to influence and policy manipulation. Lavish, secretive donations could mean that foreign or special interests are buying favors.
Tech billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman have announced their million-dollar donations, but past inaugurations have cost as much as $100 million, and there’s still too much we don’t know. Trump’s refusal to disclose the full details of his donors threatens the integrity of our democracy. We cannot let this secrecy become the norm.
If we allow Trump’s practices to go unchecked, we pave the way for future leaders to hide their shady dealings. But the good news is that we have an opportunity to demand accountability.
With a new generation of progressive champions serving on the House Oversight Committee, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Greg Casar, Maxwell Frost, Ro Khanna, and Summer Lee, we need to ensure that uncovering the truth about Trump’s inauguration is a top priority in the New Year.
Congress has the authority -- and responsibility -- to act. Sign now to demand that House Oversight investigate Trump’s inauguration funds immediately. ([link removed])
