CORN, POPPED: Government Watchdog Files Ethics Complaint Against Sen. Van Hollen Over Trip to El Salvador to Meet With Alleged Gangbanger. “In a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), the American Accountability Foundation demanded that the secretary of the Senate be instructed ‘not to foot the bill for Van Hollen’s trip’ and called for the Senate Ethics Committee to open “an immediate investigation.'”

It likely won’t amount to much, but keeping Van Hollen’s priorities front and center isn’t a bad idea.
