Government Accountability

Members of Congress are pursuing multiple accountability initiatives this week. Democrats sent letters demanding transparency on defense contractor pricing, cryptocurrency payments involving White House officials, housing enforcement, and IRS tax data, while also investigating a $330 million fundraising campaign. Republican Mace introduced a bill requiring annual disclosure of federal employees with dual citizenship. Several Illinois and California Democrats reported receiving suspicious letters and packages at their offices.
