This week, the Congressional Integrity Project continued to drive the narrative against the baseless, fact-free political stunts by MAGA Republicans, aimed to harm President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Governor Walz ahead of the 2024 election, while convicted felon Trump and his allies are planning Project 2025 and their future threats to democracy.
CIP has sent a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics, requesting an investigation into Rep. D’Esposito, after the New York Times revealed that he hired both a woman with whom he was having an affair and his longtime fiancée’s daughter to work in his Congressional office, which may have transgressed House ethics rules designed to combat nepotism and corruption.
