Edward Markey: “If this administration was serious about ethical spending…”

“If this administration was serious about transparency, it would not conceal information about the donors but Trump's $400 million gold plated ballroom. If this administration was serious about ethical spending, it would not have allowed Kristi Noem to spend $200 million on two private jets for herself and 220 million on an ad campaign.
