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.

The Trump Presidential Library said it has no records of DMs Trump sent on Twitter during his first term, despite the fact he tweeted over 25,000 times during that period.

That raises more questions about his compliance with the Presidential Records Act.

The court should halt construction of Trump’s East Wing ballroom to prevent corruption and ensure that the administration does not fundamentally transform one of the nation’s landmarks without the input of Congress.

The Lawfare Defense Fund, a nonprofit founded by Trump donors, has raised at least $36 million to provide legal assistance to the president's allies, including those who consider themselves unjust victims of the legal system. https://t.co/i7vFjflQ5L

The chemical industry has scored major wins during Trump’s 2nd term, including a proposal to gut the majority of a 2024 rule aiming to prevent chemical plant disasters.

16 Trump-appointed EPA officials received at least $2.8M from the chemical industry.

Keep an eye out for efforts to award payouts to supporters of Trump seeking a piece of the $1.8 billion compensation fund. Even if the “slush fund” plan is declared dead, the DOJ still has ways to pay out claimants

Acting AG Todd Blanche said the Trump admin is abandoning its illegal $1.8 billion slush fund BUT he wasn't under oath and the DOJ has not confirmed this in writing.

So CREW will continue fighting until the fund is permanently shuttered.

Federal agencies are meant to be nonpartisan organizations that serve the interests of the American people, not one single man. Yet Trump seems to be inserting himself into regulatory decisions meant to be made independently—and profiting in the process.

Todd Blanche told Congress that the Trump admin is abandoning the illegal $1.8 billion slush fund.

But we have reasons to be suspicious, and that's why we're pressing forward with our case.

CREW's President Donald Sherman breaks all this down on CSPAN's Washington Journal.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville admitted to spending tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to pay for "vacation escapes" to the Florida Panhandle.

Federal law generally prohibits candidates from using campaign money for personal use.

We joined a coalition of groups urging every member of the Senate to publicly commit to opposing Todd Blanche's confirmation.

He is acting like Donald Trump's lawyer—not the American people's. That is not acceptable. He cannot become attorney general.

NEW UPDATE: At least 40 pardoned insurrectionists have faced other criminal charges since January 6, 2021—with 12 offending since Trump’s pardon.

That includes child sex abuse, weapons, reckless driving and rape, underscoring the public safety threat posed by the pardons.

Stephen Miller violated the Hatch Act when he attacked a Senate candidate with partisan and bigoted comments in his official capacity.

We filed a complaint to hold Miller accountable. https://t.co/42VzFMSKFF

At least 40 pardoned insurrectionists have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since January 6, 2021—including child sex crimes, weapon possession, reckless driving and rape.

12 of them allegedly reoffended after Trump's pardon.

The Trump Organization is involved in developing the Trump presidential library, which means the president and his family appear poised to profit from the project.

That raises legal questions. Read more here:

Tim Arvidson joined the January 6 insurrection and, five years later, was arrested for the suspected shooting death of his neighbor—another example of how January 6 insurrectionists can threaten public safety.

It's pretty cut and dry: Trump’s corruption hurts small businesses and harms the economy.

CREW's Donald Sherman testified before the Senate Small Business Committee to lay out the harms of Trump's corruption.
