Rep. Joe Neguse on Trump Cabinet: ‘You Have To Go Back to the Teapot Dome Scandal of the 1920s’ to Find This Level of Corruption

‘He and his family are engaged in all kinds of corruption‘

RUSH EXCERPT:

NEGUSE: “Yeah. Well, first I would say, jed, it’s still kind of unclear as to the ultimate reasons that President Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that secretary noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it. I mean, the reality is the administration, he and his family are engaged in all kinds of corruption. They’re making hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars through crypto schemes and all the like. So in any event, I would say that with respect to the other members of his cabinet, you have a number of individuals who, again, I believe are engaged in self-dealing. You have to go back to the teapot dome scandal of the 1920s to find a cabinet, a presidential cabinet more engulfed in corruption than this one. So I imagine that there’s going to be some very rigorous oversight from ranking member raskin. Of course, ranking member Garcia, both of whom you’ve had on your program. As we try to get to the bottom of the corruption”
