\"Senator<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation referenced Donald Trump\u2019s disclosure of billions of dollars in crypto earnings in 2025, as well as his family\u2019s business ties to foreign governments.<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced legislation to create a new US government agency focused entirely on addressing corruption at the federal level, noting President Donald Trump\u2019s gains from \u201cvarious, and extremely lucrative, cryptocurrency ventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a Thursday notice, Schumer said<\/a> that he had introduced a bill called the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act, which, if passed, would have the authority to \u201cinvestigate, enforce, and prevent executive branch corruption.\u201d The text of the bill addressed Congress\u2019 findings that Trump had disclosed earning more than $2 billion from investments in 2025, including $1.4 billion tied to crypto, and his family had more than $1 billion in a crypto fund tied to foreign governments.<\/p>\n

In a Public Citizen forum describing the bill, Schumer described the anti-corruption agency as having \u201creal teeth\u201d with enforcement authority, and consisting of a bipartisan group of seven members to be confirmed by the Senate. The legislation also provided mechanisms for private citizens and state authorities to recover funds that Schumer said had been stolen from \u201cAmericans through corruption.\u201c<\/p>\n
