ProPublica published “a trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 federal officials appointed by President Donald Trump.”

“The documents reveal a web of financial ties between senior government officials and the industries they help regulate — relationships that have drawn scrutiny as Trump has dismantled ethics safeguards designed to prevent conflicts of interest.”

3. Trump said he would "drain the swamp."

Which, of course, meant the opposite -- just like every accusation he makes is a projection of what he intends to do (or already did).
