Nevadans work hard for their money--really hard--especially right now, when they are being squeezed by rising costs as a result of Trump's chaos and his reckless economic policies. Nevadans pay taxes with the expectation that the Federal Government is going to work for them and provide critical services when they need it--services that are shamefully being disrupted by the Republican government shutdown. Instead, their taxpayer dollars are being wasted on gold-plated dinners at the White House, two--count them, two-- private jets for Kristi Noem, and, unbelievably, a potentially multimillion-dollar illegal payment to Donald Trump. So you heard that right. In the middle of a government shutdown that he caused because he refuses to take action to prevent a spike in your healthcare costs, Donald Trump is seeking $230 million in payment from the Department of Justice. For whom? Well, for himself. He is going to use your money to pad his own pockets, instead of working with Democrats to take action to make sure that you and your family can go to the doctor without breaking the bank. Trump has even acknowledged that "it's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself." And I want to go one step further. It is not just "strange." It is outrageous. Mr. President, $230 million--all while families are worried about paying their bills, putting food on the table, and wondering if they will be able to afford their health insurance for next year.
