If you have read any emails from CREW in the last three years, you know that these claims from President Trump’s sons are blatantly false. In October, they made several appearances on cable news to point fingers at other people and try to deflect from the real scandal: their family has been shamelessly cashing in on the presidency—and creating an endless stream of dangerous conflicts of interest—since day one.

CREW recently released a live tracker to keep us all up to date on the staggering scale of their corruption.

With the Trump sons attempting to spread the lie that they aren’t doing foreign business or enriching themselves, CREW’s tracker and tireless research have been an invaluable resource to combat the disinformation. The Washington Post, Politifact and CNN all turned to CREW to set the record straight.

After nearly 3 years of watching the conflicts of interest pile up, including Ivanka Trump’s foreign trademarks and expanded Trump Organization developments in Scotland, Indonesia, Ireland, Uruguay, India and the Dominican Republic—it is not a tough call.

The claim that the Trump family is not using the presidency to enrich themselves is truly the worst lie we’ve heard in a while.

Consider sharing this fact check from Politifact with your friends and family, and keep it in the back of your mind as we head into the holiday season. Some of your friends or family may have heard the Trump sons’ claims, and may be interested to hear just how blatantly false their claims are.

Thank you for standing with us against corruption,
