WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Scott Peters released the following statement on the Trump Administration’s troubling self-dealing:

Peters. “I will continue to hold the Trump Administration accountable for any attempt to enrich themselves or give special treatment to allies not available to ordinary Americans.”
