While the anti-Trumpers like to harp on Jeff Sessions, there are others. For instance, Nancy Pelosi. Now we have another. Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill. Well, yeah, CNN, so it might not be true. But what makes the whole thing drip with schadenfreude is that the bill for dinner was footed by a foundation on whose board McCaskill sits and her role in the foundation was not disclosed as required by law.
