Dem Rep. Garcia: ‘Donald Trump Has Turned the White House into His Own ATM’

‘Presidents cannot be enriching themselves off of their office’

EXCERPT:

GARCIA: “Absolutely. It‘s illegal. We have the Emoluments Clause for a reason. Presidents cannot be enriching themselves off of their office. Donald Trump has turned the White House into his own ATM. Whether it‘s having political events there, whether it’s been selling access to the White House, whether it‘s been creating this, essentially, crypto scheme where all sorts of folks can dump money in, he is going to country after country, followed by his sons, who are then coming in and cutting real estate deals. We know that there‘s reports of the Trumps essentially being on the boards of companies, gaining enormous contracts from the federal government. There is no question that the Trumps are involved, we believe, in illegal activity. That has to be held accountable, and Americans should be outraged that we have an American president that is enriching himself the way that he is. And whether it‘s the Trump’s — the Trump stablecoin, the crypto scheme, whether it‘s the real estate deals, all of this, selling pardons, all of it reeks of corruption in the most corrupt administration in history.”
