Trump’s cabinet picks lied and plagiarized their way through their confirmation hearings. Six weeks after Trump took office, the investigative-journalism foundation ProPublica compiled a list of lies told to the Senate by five of Trump’s nominees: Pruitt, DeVos, Treasury pick Steve Mnuchin, Price, and Sessions. DeVos also appeared to have cribbed some of her written questionnaire responses from documents authored by other officials and available online. Lying to Congress is a criminal offense.
