Democrats Criticize President Trump's Construction Projects in Shadow Hearing
Democratic lawmakers held a shadow hearing to criticize President Trump's construction projects in Washington, D.C., labeling them as 'vanity projects.' The hearing, which did not include Republican participation, focused on projects like the East Wing renovation and a triumphal arch, accusing the administration of using no-bid contracts and prioritizing personal interests over public needs. Witnesses, including former ethics lawyer Norm Eisen, highlighted potential conflicts of interest and the use of government contracts for political gain. The hearing was not part of official congressional business, as Republicans hold majorities in both chambers.
