Rep. Jim Clyburn, who will chair the House’s new committee to oversee trillions in coronavirus stimulus spending, spoke to CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday morning about what the committee will focus on.
“My understanding is that this committee will be forward-looking, we are not going to be looking back on what the president may or may not have done back before this crisis hit,” Clyburn said. The crisis is with us.”
“The American people are now out of work, millions of them out of work, the question is whether or not the money appropriated will go to support the them and their families or whether or not the money will end up in the pockets of a few profiteers,” he said.
“This is about focusing on how the money is spent, whether or not the people who are getting the money are actually working on behalf of the American people or whether or not they are profiteering.”
