Ethics
House Republicans dropped their plans to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics after receiving criticism from lawmakers, watchdog groups and President-elect Donald Trump.
Was the director trying to pressure the president-elect to divest from his companies?
It's a preview of how Democrats can provide oversight without Republican support.
A Trump adviser attributed the holdup to “how convoluted and complex many of these business holdings are.”
WHAT'S HAPPENING
“Brilliant! Divestiture is good for you, very good for America!” the Office of Government Ethics tweeted.
Personal morality in elected officials means less and less to them.
Journalistic integrity has wavered so much over the course of this election.
