Dear friends,
Trump's trail of dirty money weaves across the planet -- from shell companies funneling dirty money to Trump properties, to a Trump Tower Toronto deal involving a $100 million kickback to the Kremlin!
US investigators are closing in, convicting his closest advisors -- as
Trump claims he's above the law and tries desperately to stop the investigation.
But we have a way to Trump-proof the search for truth: take the investigation worldwide.
Avaaz staff have already turned up jaw-dropping stories of global corruption straight out of a spy novel. And by hiring just ONE lawyer we've uncovered new details that could help hold Trump to account.
Just imagine if we could hire 10 or even 100! We're pushing a case forward in one European country (we can't yet say which!), but we've got to widen the focus.
If 40,000 of us donate today, we can finally have a real shot at showing Trump NO ONE is above the law -- chip in now: When a corrupt, profit-hungry businessman with no respect for the rule of law controls one of the most powerful countries on earth, there's no telling what will happen! Not only does he do the unthinkable like throw children in cages, but he's quickly rolling back attempts to stop runaway climate change and could start nuclear war with one angry push of a button.
Having Trump and others like him as heads of state puts all of us at risk. The good news is that we're closer than ever to exposing the truth. One by one, Trump's closest advisors and lawyers are being convicted of tax fraud, lying to investigators, using shell companies, and so much more. And
it's just the tip of the iceberg.
All evidence suggests Trump's led a life of crime and corruption, with a trail running through Canada, Scotland, Netherlands Spain, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Panama and many more countries. But so far
no prosecutor has been willing to go head to head against a sitting US President.
Chip in now and we'll get started changing that right away, hiring lawyers and investigators to expose the truth, then running ad campaigns and attention-grabbing stunts to push prosecutors to move quickly. Together we can
show US lawmakers that they can't just look the other way -- and that NO ONE is above the law:
The world of democracy, rule of law and human rights that our parents and grandparents have built is truly precious, and truly fragile. If we allow Trump to show that might makes right, that power matters more than justice, then an army of Trumps everywhere are waiting to follow his lead. But if we stand on the line, and call on our institutions to defend truth and justice, we'll teach the world the opposite lesson: That even the most powerful man in the world is not above the law.
With hope and determination,
Allison, Danny, Meetali, Ricken, Rosa, Martyna and the rest of the Avaaz team
