Democrats on the House Oversight Committee sent letters to oil companies requesting more information about their executives’ meeting with Donald Trump.

Lawmakers demand details of a Mar-a-Lago dinner where Trump promised to ease regulations on the oil industry while asking executives to steer $1 billion to his 2024 campaign.

        Give me money to potentially sway my vote in a way that helps you. Ok.

        I tell you give me a million and i’ll make that vote happen. Illegal and not ok.

        I’m sure at this point you’re just a troll, but there is a difference there.

          Sway your vote? Man lobbyists hand you the whole prewritten legislation to sponsor for their money. Legal because its going to your election campaign instead of directly to you.
