Sarbanes: How Many Ways Has Trump Filled the Swamp? About 400, So Far

With each passing day, it seems, there is a new report of how one Trump appointee or another is disregarding the basic norms and guidelines that have always governed public officials.... The House Democracy Reform Task Force has been tracking these conflicts of interest, ethical abuses and special-interest backroom deals within the Trump White House and throughout his administration. In just 400 days of the Trump Presidency, we’ve found more than 400 ways that the president has flooded the swamp.... To make matters worse, the Republican leadership in Congress is missing in action when it comes to proper oversight of the administration. Our founders envisioned that the Congress would act as a check on the executive branch, not acquiesce in it excesses. It’s time to hold this Congress and this administration accountable for their conduct. Americans deserve a better deal for our democracy.
