Edward Markey: “If this administration was serious about transparency, it…”

“No sunshine, no transparency. We still don't know what DOGE did at the Small Business Administration because the committee has never been briefed after repeated requests. 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.” (04:59–05:10)
