,findings and purpose 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,a ,federal ,government free from corruption is essential to maintaining public trust4 7#b7 ,political corruption is fundamentally at odds with the commitment to democratic self-government outlined in the ,constitution of the ,united ,states4 ,the purpose of the ,constitution is to create a ,government in which all powers derive1 in the words of ,james ,madison1 from the great body of the people4 ,the ,federalist ,no4 #ci 7,james ,madison74 ,corruption frustrates this purpose by privileging the monetary interests of a private elite over the democratically expressed will of the people4 7#c7 ,the ,framers of the ,constitution of the ,united ,states recognized that corruption poses an existential threat to self-government4 ,george ,mason1 an influential participant in the ,constitutional ,convention1 told his fellow delegates that1 if we do not provide against corruption1 our government will soon be at an end4 ,notes of ,robert ,yates 7,june #bc1 #aghg71 in #a ,the ,records of the ,federal ,convention of #aghg1 at #cia1 #cib 7,max ,farrand ed41 rev4 ed4 #aiff7 7#aicg74 ,alexander ,hamilton1 in ,federalist ,no4 #fh1 explained that1 in the writing of the ,constitution1 nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal1 intrigue1 and corruption44 7#d7 ,to protect the democracy principle of the ,constitution of the ,united ,states from this threat1 the founding charter of the ,united ,states is rife with anti-corruption measures4 ,in the article ,the ,anti-,corruption ,principle1 ,professor ,zephyr ,teachout identifies #bc distinct constitutional provisions aimed at preventing corruption4 #id ,cornell ,l4 ,rev4 #cda1 #ced 7#bjji74 ,most prominently1 the ,constitution of the ,united ,states forbids1 pursuant to clause #h of section #i of article ,i1 ,federal officials1 including the ,president1 from receiving gifts of any kind from a foreign power without congressional consent and provides1 pursuant to section #d of article ,,ii1 that the ,president should be removed from office in cases of bribery4 7#e7 ,in defiance of these provisions1 the ,trump administration has been marked by widespread corruption1 disregard for basic ethical standards1 and repeated efforts to weaken or take control of independent watchdog agencies to protect the ,president1 the allies of the ,president1 and the financial interests of the ,president from accountability4 7#f7 ,president ,trump and the family and close supporters of ,president ,trump have leveraged the ,government for personal profit at the expense of the people of the ,united ,states4 7#g7 ,when public officials use governmental power to enrich themselves1 their families1 and major donors--through self-dealing1 conflicts of interest1 and preferential treatment--those public officials violate their oath to the ,constitution of the ,united ,states1 defy the democratically expressed will of the people1 distort markets1 increase costs and financial risks for families in the ,united ,states1 undermine fair competition for honest businesses1 and erode public confidence in democratic institutions4 7#h7 ,systemic corruption and pay-to-play practices in the executive branch function as a hidden tax on families in the ,united ,states by driving up the prices those families pay for essentials while channeling public resources and policy favors toward special interests rather than the broader public interest4 7#i7 ,the ,constitution of the ,united ,states empowers ,congress1 as the branch of ,government with the most direct relationship to the people1 to enact laws providing for strong anti-corruption enforcement and truly independent investigative mechanisms1 as these measures are essential to defending democracy and protecting the economic well-being of families in the ,united ,states4 7#aj7 ,after the ,watergate scandal1 ,congress exercised these powers to create a system of independent watchdog agencies1 including the ,federal ,election ,commission1 the ,office of ,government ,ethics1 and the ,office of ,special ,counsel1 to prevent abuses of power1 oversee money in politics1 and restore trust in ,federal institutions4 ,today1 these agencies are failing to fulfill the missions of those agencies because the agencies have been systematically weakened1 particularly during the ,trump administration4 7#aa7 ,fifty years after ,watergate1 the ,federal ,election ,commission--the leading reform agency created during that era--has been deliberately weakened1 stalled by gridlock1 and influenced by the very interests the ,commission is meant to regulate4 ,this includes the appointment of commissioners opposed to the mission of the ,commission1 the removal of the ,chair of the ,commission1 and efforts to prevent the ,commission from maintaining a quorum4 7#ab7 ,as a result1 there is little meaningful enforcement of ,federal campaign finance laws1 allowing ,trump1 affiliated political committees1 and others to violate or push the limits of the law without consequence4 7#ac7 ,the ,ethics in ,government ,act of #aigh1 now codified as chapter #aca of title #e1 ,united ,states ,code1 established the ,office of ,government ,ethics to prevent conflicts of interest and uphold public trust4 ,the ,trump administration1 however1 weakened this office by removing a ,senate-confirmed ,director mid-term1 attacking inspectors general1 and signaling that ethics officials risk retaliation for doing their jobs4 7#ad7 ,these actions are part of a broader strategy to treat ethics rules as optional1 reduce financial disclosure to a formality1 and allow the ,president1 the inner circle of the ,president1 and family members of the ,president to benefit from public office without meaningful oversight4 7#ae7 ,the ,office of ,special ,counsel1 which is responsible for protecting the merit-based civil service1 enforcing the ,hatch ,act 7codified as subchapter ,,iii of chapter #gc of title #e1 ,united ,states ,code7 and safeguarding whistleblowers1 has also been destabilized4 ,this includes the removal of a ,senate-confirmed ,special ,counsel and the installation of interim leadership that pursued politically driven investigations1 discouraging the reporting of wrongdoing4 7#af7 ,across these agencies1 a consistent pattern has emerged3 identify the watchdog1 target the leadership of the watchdog1 shape appointments for political ends1 and erode the independence of the watchdog until the watchdog can no longer effectively detect1 prevent1 or punish misconduct4 7#ag7 ,these actions have accelerated the decline in public confidence in ethical ,government and accountability and have put the foundation of democratic governance at risk4 7#ah7 ,the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states has held that ,congress retains the power to create independent agencies1 but that these agencies must be both independent in fact and appearance 7see ,trump v4 ,cook1 ,no4 #be;,a#cab1 slip op4 at #ad 7,u4,s4 ,june #bi1 #bjbf771 with functions that are essentially of an investigative and informative nature 7,buckley v4 ,valeo1 #dbd ,u4,s4 #a1 #acg 7#aigf771 consistent with the holdings of the ,supreme ,court regarding ,congress establishing new independent agencies 7see ,trump v4 ,slaughter1 ,no4 #be-ccb1 slip op4 at #bg 7,u4,s4 ,june #bi1 #bjbf7 7citing ,buckley1 #dbd ,u4,s4 #a1 #acg-ach774 7#ai7 ,congress therefore finds it necessary to rebuild and strengthen these institutions ensuring the institutions are truly independent1 in fact and appearance1 protected from similar abuses in the future1 capable of enforcing the law in practice and providing essential transparency into the ,government of the ,united ,states1 and not easily undermined by any single ,president or political party4 7b7 ,purpose ,the purposes of this ,act are the following3 7#a7 ,to restore and strengthen the ability of the ,federal ,government to prevent1 detect1 and address corruption1 conflicts of interest1 abuses of power1 and serious violations of campaign finance1 ethics1 and civil service laws4 7#b7 ,to facilitate recovering for the people of the ,united ,states the money that has been pilfered through corruption4 7#c7 ,to rebuild and update the post-,watergate oversight system so that ,federal anti-corruption laws are enforced as ,congress intended1 and that no administration--including the ,trump administration--can turn public service into personal gain and easily weaken or take control of that system4 7#d7 ,to rebuild public trust in the ,federal ,government by making clear that no one1 regardless of position1 is above the law--and that the institutions responsible for enforcing the law are strong enough to do so1 even in the face of determined efforts1 such as those by ,trump1 to undermine them4 7#e7 ,to close gaps in the law that have emerged over the past #e decades and update the post-,watergate framework to address modern challenges1 ensuring that future ,presidents and administrations cannot repeat the pattern seen during the ,trump administration of weakening or taking control of independent oversight agencies4 7#f7 ,to create an independent establishment that is both independent in fact and appearance1 with functions that are essentially of an investigative and informative nature1 consistent with the holdings of the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states regarding ,congress establishing new independent agencies4 #d4 ,definitions ,in this

#b1jjj1jjj1jjj since returning to the ,white ,house in #bjbe according to a recent financial disclosure--a stunning sum for a sitting president4 ,the ,new ,yorker estimates that ,donald ,trump and the immediate family of ,donald ,trump have made more than #d1jjj1jjj1jjj exploiting the presidency4 7#b7 ,these gains are from various1 and extremely lucrative1 cryptocurrency ventures1 timely stock trades1 overseas deals1 and business and media ventures intractably linked to the presidential role of ,trump4 7#c7 ,the ,trump administration cut a billion-dollar mining deal with ,kazakhstan to open one of the largest untapped reserves in the world of tungsten--a critical metal used in semiconductor manufacturing4 ,the ,united ,states ,government set aside #a1fjj1jjj1jjj to fund and finance the project4 ,the sons of ,donald ,trump have a stake in the deal4 7#d7 ,the sons of ,donald ,trump have also profited heavily from investing in a huge portfolio of defense technology start-ups that are benefitting from ,pentagon contracts4 ,according to the ,washington ,post1 more than a dozen firms have reportedly generated at least #c4b billion in direct government business since the sons invested and an additional #c4a billion in future contract options4 7#e7 ,the ,trump family has more than #a1jjj1jjj1jjj in this crypto fund that is tied to foreign governments4 ,the largest business partner in ,world ,liberty ,financial is a fund backed by the ,united ,arab ,emirates1 whose purchase of a #di percent stake in the company funneled #ahg1jjj1jjj to the ,trump family4 7#f7 ,elon ,musk1 the first trillionaire in the world1 backed ,trump and ,republicans with over #bej1jjj1jjj in election spending4 ,less than a month into the new administration1 companies owned by ,musk were already benefitting from the support of those companies for ,trump4 ,the ,new ,york ,times reported that ,government investigations into ,mr4 ,musk's companies are stalling amid ,president ,trump's firings and ,biden administration resignations4 ,trump bestowed unprecedented1 and likely unlawful1 authority to ,musk to run a so-called ,department of ,government ,ethics 7commonly known as ,,doge71 where ,musk diverted billions in taxpayer funds to benefit the personal financial interests of ,musk while cutting ,federal jobs1 programs1 and essential public services4 ,at the same time1 ,mr4 ,musk continued to oversee a vast private business empire that depends heavily on ,government funding and has been tasked with handling the conflicts of interest of ,musk4 7#g7 ,peter ,thiel1 a ,republican megadonor1 ,vice ,president ,,jd ,vance ally1 and founder of ,palantir1 has raked in billions in ,government contracts since donating millions to the campaigns of ,trump and the allies of ,trump4 ,since the inauguration of ,trump1 ,palantir has been awarded more than #a1cjj1jjj1jjj in ,federal contracts1 and ,anduril1 the defense tech company heavily backed by ,founders ,fund1 which was founded by ,thiel1 signed a #aj-year contract with the ,united ,states ,army potentially worth up to #bj1jjj1jjj1jjj4 7#h7 ,these acts of corruption have come at the expense of the people of the ,united ,states--investors and consumers defrauded1 taxpayers fleeced by paying for no-bid contracts1 and victims unable to recover money they are owed because of corrupt pardons1 among other direct costs to the public in the ,united ,states4 7#i7 ,when ,government officials exploit those positions to benefit themselves1 their relatives1 or powerful donors--through self-interested deals1 undisclosed conflicts1 or favoritism--those officials warp market incentives1 raise costs and risks for everyday individuals in the ,united ,states1 disadvantage law-abiding businesses1 and weaken public trust in democratic governance4 7#aj7 ,the money pilfered to line the pockets of the wealthy and the well-connected belongs to the people of the ,united ,states4 ,private litigation can be a
