Scandals in the White House

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, ``I think that there's no doubt about the seriousness of the problem we've got. We have a cancer within--close to the Presidency, that's growing. It's growing daily.''

Mr. Speaker, that is a quote from the Watergate scandal, but the American people are applying it to current circumstances in the White House.

We have a laptop referencing ``the big guy'' is getting his 10 percent. We have text messages stating: My father is sitting next to me and you better pay up.

I am paraphrasing, slightly.

Despite statements from the White House on how there was no contact with business partners, we have pictures of them playing golf together, and White House visitor logs.

Mr. Speaker, we have bank records, lots of them, around 20, with tens of millions of dollars going to members of the President's family, including grandchildren. We don't know what they did for it, and recently a bag of cocaine was found in the White House, but case closed. No one accused. No one found.

Mr. Speaker, if this was a bag of anthrax, would that have been taken more seriously and solved? I think the answer is yes. The only reason there are any investigations taking place or oversight is because Republicans have a majority in the House.
