Investigate Commerce Secretary AI Corruption Now

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is supposed to regulate industry — not help his family profit from it. 

But while Lutnick is overseeing federal policy on artificial intelligence and data centers, companies tied to his own sons are operating in that same booming industry. As the government fast-tracks AI infrastructure and data center expansion, Lutnick’s family stands to benefit directly. That’s a textbook conflict of interest.

Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers. Even the Commerce Department’s own inspector general has flagged potential conflicts involving Lutnick. Yet no full, independent investigation has happened.

Tell Congress: “Investigate Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s conflicts of interest now.”

Public office is not a family business. When a cabinet secretary shapes billion-dollar policy while his relatives profit behind the scenes, trust in the government collapses and corruption becomes normalized.

These data centers aren’t abstract tech projects. They devour electricity, strain local power grids, and drive up utility costs for families and small businesses. Communities are already paying more to keep the lights on — while politically connected insiders cash in.

Congress has the power — and the responsibility — to act now. The House Oversight Committee and Senate Commerce Committee must launch a full investigation, subpoena records, and determine whether federal power was abused for private gain.

If Congress doesn’t act, it sends a clear message that corruption is tolerated as long as it’s dressed up as “innovation.”

Add your name and demand accountability before corruption becomes business as usual.

The petition to Congress reads: “Investigate Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s conflicts of interest now.”
