Citizens for Ethics

CREW fights for the democracy Americans deserve and aims to build a government that is accountable, transparent and ethical.

President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history.

They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.

Amid the surge in threats against sitting judges across the country, it's incredibly troubling and completely unacceptable that a top DHS official is using his official government social media account to name and attack federal judges.

Since returning to office, Trump has been systematically disrupting and dismantling the institutions meant to prevent fraud and abuse in the executive branch. Unsurprisingly, these watchdogs are now conducting fewer oversight reports.

Justice Kagan mentioned a proposal for an ethics panel made up of retired federal judges that could enforce the Supreme Court ethics code.

We couldn't agree more with Justice Kagan.

Let's be crystal clear: The 22nd Amendment says presidents can’t be elected to a third term.

That applies to Trump, just like it has every president since it was ratified 75 years ago.

January 6ers cost taxpayers billions of dollars worth in property damage and other federal costs.

As if that wasn't enough, they're now seeking secretive payouts from the government.

This cannot stand. Congress must act to prevent this from happening.

Ten defense, space and software companies that Trump Jr.’s firm is invested in have been awarded over $1.6 billion from federal contracts and grants in the first 500 days of Trump’s second term.

The voters of Maine witnessed the corruption resulting from massive contributions to super PACs and took a stand for democracy. The First Circuit should join them and overturn the lower court's rejection of the voter-approved super PAC donation limit.

While serving as president during his second term, Donald Trump has filed lawsuits or made claims demanding $50 billion.

Let that sink in.

Federal agencies accumulated a backlog of nearly 340,000 overdue FOIA requests as of Sep. 30, 2025.

That's staggering. https://t.co/QvPMTSbOUe

Trump has turned the presidency into a for-profit enterprise. It’s been obvious for years now that Trump is the most corrupt president in American history, and his latest financial disclosure just cements that fact. https://t.co/tBqMWAzU2C

Trump has filed lawsuits and claims totaling more than $70 billion since announcing his candidacy in 2022.

Since his reelection, he has also secured about $86.5 million in settlements for himself, his presidential library and the White House ballroom.

Trump’s IRS “settlement” included a slush fund to funnel $1.8 billion to political allies, including Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

CREW sued the DOJ, Treasury and IRS after they failed to respond to our records request on the deal. https://t.co/jrz9zBhHnx

Because Trump has alluded to a third term yet again, this is a friendly reminder that the 22nd Amendment limits a president to two elected terms. Not three, not four. The Constitution is actually extremely clear on this!

Breaking with bipartisan precedent, Trump overruled his own agencies and denied sending disaster aid to four Democratic-led states this month, despite FEMA and NOAA's determination that those states met the thresholds for receiving aid.

Within just 6 days of SpaceX going public, at least 6 House members or their immediate families purchased a total of about $83,000 to $245,000 worth of stocks.

Most of them serve on committees that are tasked with regulating the company.

See the problem?

It was a pleasure joining today's @Public_Citizen forum on combatting corruption. Thanks to moderator @ByronTau and my fellow @POGOwatchdog and @StopBigMoney panelists for a thoughful discussion—and to @SenSchumer, @SenWhitehouse and @SenAlexPadilla for joining the conversation.

In the nearly 3 years since announcing his candidacy for a second term as president, Donald Trump has filed lawsuits and claims demanding over 70 BILLION DOLLARS.

Blanche isn’t acting like the nation’s lawyer. He is still acting like Trump's. The only difference is that taxpayers are now paying his salary.

Americans deserve better. Senators, this is not your guy—reject him.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed its vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination. That gives us another chance to remind everyone why he’s unfit to lead the Justice Department. 🧵

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Blanche has made clear that his unwavering loyalty to Trump takes precedence over his allegiance to the Constitution.
