Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) says the Trump administration is kicking ethics standards to the curb.
Im very concerned about classified, high-security clearances being given to non-military, to non-personnel that do not meet the criteria for classified information, i.e., family, Lawrence, who serves on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, told Hill.TVs Krystal Ball in an interview that aired on Friday.
Lawrence said government officials have processes and protocols they are expected to follow and she argued that those who don't follow ethics standards should be held accountable.
"We have rules and we have processes and protocols that Im expected to follow, she continued. This administration has just kicked that to the curb and you see these unexplainable activities.
