April 28, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives today, Democracy Reform Task Force Chair Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) highlighted President Donald Trump's failure to deliver on his promise to "drain the swamp" in Washington.

"Americans of all political stripes are starting to wonder: ‘Maybe this president isn't looking out for me and my family. Maybe he's just looking out for himself, his business and his brand,'" said Congressman Sarbanes.

Today the Democracy Reform Task Force unveiled a new report that illustrates the numerous and unprecedented ways that the Trump Administration – after only 100 days in office – has tested the extreme limits of ethics laws and standards.

See below for a video of the Congressman's full remarks.
