Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer introduced a new bill to establish an independent Anti-Corruption Bureau aimed at investigating and recovering funds obtained through executive branch corruption.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act would create a seven-member federal agency holding investigative, subpoena, oversight, enforcement and public-reporting powers, according to the press release.
According to Schumer, the bill is a direct response to what he described as President Donald Trump turning the presidency into a family business.
The senator claims that Trump has received more than $2 billion and his family more than $4 billion since returning to office in 2025.
Schumer said Trump has "turned the presidency into the most profitable scam of his life," accusing Republicans of helping him "cash every check." The bureau, he said, would let regulators "follow the money" and "claw back corrupt profits." The bill would allow private plaintiffs and state attorneys general to sue to recover money obtained through corruption by presidents, senior officials, campaign figures, and major contractors.
