Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

By steering bribes into his crypto firm, pardoning crypto criminals, and gutting watchdog agencies, Trump and his family have made billions from crypto.

Congress must act to stop this brazen corruption by Trump and his allies.
