Congressional Democrats unveiled another part of their anti-Trump 2018 campaign platform Monday, proposing tightening campaign finance and ethics laws they said have been exposed as too weak after they failed to snare President Trump.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, said the effort is needed to combat “one of the most compromised, corrupt administrations in history.”
“Instead of delivering on his promise to drain the swamp, President Trump has become the swamp,” Mrs. Pelosi said on the steps of the Capitol. “Republicans and the White House are cravenly beholden to big money interest and the American people are paying the price.”
The announcement was part of Democrats “Better Deal” platform, which is an effort to give them a platform of ideas beyond antipathy to Mr. Trump. But the president remains the center of their complaints.
At the press conference Monday, Democrats said the Trump administration has put the wealthy and well-connected ahead of everyday voters and been mired in chaos. They highlighted former HHS Secretary Tom Price’s resignation amid an uproar over taxpayer funded charter flights, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s alleged ethical violations and the pay-to-play accusations surrounding Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump’s personal attorney.
