Rep. John Sarbanes introduced the No Lobbyists on Presidential Transition Teams Act (H.R. 6324)…. "On the campaign trail, President-elect Trump promised to 'drain the swamp' in Washington," Sarbanes said in a statement. "But he’s not living up to that promise by stocking his transition team with corporate lobbyists. This bill is a meaningful step toward reducing the undue influence of wealthy and entrenched special interests in Washington." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
