To: President Donald Trump
Promise to appoint an independent prosecutor for any federal case involving Sheldon Aldelson.
Petition to Mitt Romney and President Obama:
Both candidates for President should sign a pledge and make a public commitment to appoint an independent prosecutor for any and all federal investigations regarding billionaire Sheldon Aldelson. Currently Sheldon is being investigated for money laundering and a Chinese bribery scheme. Aldelson has promised to spend “whatever it takes” to help Romney defeat Obama and it is estimated that he has spent $70 million so far. Romney should sign the pledge in order to avoid the appearance of being bought, and President Obama should sign the pledge in order to avoid the appearance of getting revenge.

Why is this important?
Sheldon Adelson has contributed millions of dollars to super pacs that support Mitt Romney and Republicans. Any investigation by either candidate should be conducted by an independent prosecutor to avoid the appearance of returning a favor or getting revenge.
