Karoline Leavitt Clowned for Defending Trump’s Financial Integrity While in Office

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's response to queries regarding President Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about fellow Republican, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, was perplexing. Hawley had recently proposed a bill prohibiting stock trading by federal lawmakers, including the president and vice president, which successfully navigated a key Senate committee with an 8-7 vote, with Hawley as the lone Republican supporter.Trump criticized Hawley harshly, labeling him a “second-tier Senator” and accusing him of aiding Democrats. Leavitt, asked about the president’s stance on the bill, noted that Hawley and Trump had communicated but evaded directly addressing the comments. She emphasized Trump’s conceptual support for curbing congressional enrichment through stock trading while launching an attack on Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, linking the legislation's necessity to her financial dealings.This drew significant attention online, prompting backlash against perceived hypocrisy regarding Trump’s behavior. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Murphy sought to limit Trump’s future access to a Qatari jet, highlighting ongoing discussions around ethical governance. (By Bruce Schaff: Wikipedia Images)
