Pennsylvania Democrat discloses wife’s work for law firm that stands to benefit from his trucking bill

Rep. Matt Cartwright amended two years of financial disclosure statements amid allegations that he and his wife would personally benefit from truck insurance legislation he sponsored, according to public records.

The Pennsylvania Democrat has introduced multiple bills to raise the mandatory liability insurance for truck drivers while also holding a multimillion-dollar financial stake in his family law firm that specializes in truck accident-related lawsuits, the Washington Examiner reported last month.

President Trump won Cartwright's northeastern Pennsylvania district by 11 points, and the lawmaker could face a difficult reelection race as Democrats seek to defend their House majority.

Honest question here, how is this any different than heads of state staying at Trump golf courses overseas? Or vacations using tax dollars being taken at Mar - a Lago? They are both wrong.

The overseas stay at Trump golf courses was actually chosen and okayed under the Obama administration.
Look it up! Why do you think the news story disappeared so quickly?
