Seventeen Democratic members of Congress are demanding the president’s inaugural committee formally explain financial “inconsistencies” and “discrepancies” detailed in a recent article by NOTUS.

The letter to the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, dated Sept. 10, is signed by several of President Donald Trump’s leading antagonists including Reps. Jamie Raskin, a former Trump impeachment manager; Bennie Thompson, former chairman of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol; Pramila Jayapal; Jerrold Nadler; and Mary Gay Scanlon.

NOTUS in July reported that Amazon, General Motors and Microsoft told Congress they contributed significantly more money to Trump’s 2025 inaugural committee than the inaugural committee itself publicly reported to the Federal Election Commission.
