Pointed language already from elijah coupummings. he says in part this morning, i plan to shine a light on waste, fraud and abuse in the trump administration. i want to probe senior administration officials across the government who have abused their positions of power and wasted taxpayer money, as well as president trumps decisions to act in his own financial self-interest, rather than the best interest of the american people. and the white house this morning really already trying to down play ...
