James Comer and Jim Jordan built careers on the premise that oversight exists to keep power in check. They launched endless investigations, issued countless subpoenas, and were on Fox News every night to lecture America about supposed corruption, conflicts of interest, and abuses of power under the previous administration. But given the opportunity to investigate a true corruption crisis under President Donald Trump, Comer and Jordan are nowhere to be found. Trump is creating a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward his allies. He is personally trading stocks in companies his administration is enriching. And his Justice Department is dropping fraud charges against a billionaire because he hired Trump’s personal attorney. All this week!
What the actual f—k do Comer and Jordan have to say about that?
- Trump Is Creating a $1.7 Billion Taxpayer-Funded Slush Fund to Reward His Allies. Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a $1.7 billion “weaponization” compensation fund — bankrolled by taxpayers through the Treasury Department’s Judgment Fund — to reward allies who claim they were targeted by the Biden administration. Trump would have authority to staff and fire the commission overseeing the fund without cause, with no obligation to disclose its procedures or the identities of recipients. The nearly 1,600 Jan. 6 defendants Trump already pardoned could receive payouts and entities associated with Trump himself are not explicitly barred from filing claims. Even Trump admitted in October, “It’s awfully strange to make a decision where I’m paying myself.”
- Trump Is Personally Trading Stocks in Companies His Administration Is Directly Enriching. New federal disclosures reveal Trump went on a stock-buying spree in early 2026, making more than 3,600 individual trades in the first three months of the year. He purchased $1 million to $5 million in Nvidia stock one week before his Commerce Department approved Nvidia chip sales to China — a long-sought market Nvidia needs federal approval to access. Trump bought at least $260,000 in Palantir stock in Q1, just before Palantir landed a billion-dollar DHS contract for his deportation surge. He then purchased $1 million to $5 million in Axon stock on February 10 — two weeks before ICE announced a $220 million Taser contract with the company. At his own 2026 State of the Union, Trump called for a ban on congressional stock trading — to which a Democratic lawmaker shouted from the floor: “What about you?”
- Trump’s DOJ Is Dropping Fraud Charges Against a Billionaire After He Hired Trump’s Personal Lawyer. The Trump Justice Department is preparing to drop all charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani , who was indicted in 2024 for an alleged $265 million bribery and fraud scheme targeting American investors, after Adani hired Robert Giuffra, one of Trump’s own personal attorneys who is also leading the effort to overturn Trump’s 34 felony convictions. Giuffra held a previously unreported meeting at DOJ headquarters in April in which he offered that Adani would invest $10 billion in the U.S. economy and create 15,000 jobs if the charges were dropped. The DOJ is now run by Todd Blanche — yet another former Trump personal lawyer who was told by the DOJ’s top ethics lawyers last year to recuse himself from Justice Department matters involving the president.
