Murphy On Trump's Middle East Trip: This Is A National Security Disaster And A Moral Abomination - Senator Chris Murphy
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to deliver a blistering condemnation of Trump’s foreign policy corruption, highlighting his use of the office to enrich himself while putting U.S. national security at risk.
Murphy called out Trump’s brazen willingness to accept luxury gifts and bribes from foreign governments like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, blasting the president for openly prioritizing his own profits over the well-being of American families and calling for bipartisan action to confront these abuses of power. - 05/13/2025.
