Forecast: Cloudy with Corruption, Secrecy and Double-Dealing
There's no secret that the Trump White House is one of the most corrupt, unethical and secretive administrations America has ever seen. From the unending revelations of Trump and his family's conflicts of interest to widespread abuse of taxpayer funds and the constant chaos that surrounds the President and his Cabinet, the interest of the ‘forgotten man' is no longer a priority (was it ever?).
And at the height of Trump and his Administration's abuses, Speaker Ryan and House Republicans refuse to lift a finger to hold the executive branch accountable, leaving Z-E-R-O oversight of the Trump White House.
The American people have had enough. Headlines across the country prove the Trump White House's double-dealing, unethical behavior and loose relationship with the truth compound by the day, and House GOP must be held responsible for their inaction.
