A coalition of House Democrats has initiated the End Corruption Caucus, spearheaded by Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and Mike Levin (D-Calif.). This group aims to tackle corruption in Washington, particularly criticizing President Donald Trump for using his office for personal gain. The caucus plans to propose various reforms, such as restricting the influence of special interests and banning lawmakers from stock ownership. A resolution has been introduced to denounce corruption broadly, with specific provisions targeting Trump's actions, including his presidential pardons and dealings in the cryptocurrency sector. The Democrats argue that rampant corruption threatens the integrity of U.S. institutions and diminishes public trust. Crow stated that the influence of wealthy donors and special interests is detrimental to democracy, while Levin highlighted the urgent need to confront corruption to restore public confidence in government. Despite the likelihood of their proposals facing opposition in the Republican-controlled House, the caucus hopes to draw attention to the ongoing controversies surrounding Trump as the 2024 elections approach.
