Regardless of which political party Americans identify with, the
sentiment that those who work in Washington are corrupt transcends
partisanship. Since the breaking of the Watergate scandal, trust in
the government has decreased significantly. While Congress did not
engage in the Watergate break-in, the institution has still
suffered the consequences, seeing citizens' distrust of politicians
grow. However, Congress is not blameless, as it has had its share
of scandal and corruption over the years. Scandal and Corruption in
Congress guides readers through the history of corruption in
Congress. Specifically, readers explore policies outlawing
corruption, how Congress has attempted to hide unethical behaviour,
getting caught, the repercussions of getting caught, and how
corruption in the U.S. compares to corruption in other nations.
Finally, to enlighten readers about the recent actions by Congress,
several chapters address the impact of Citizens United and the
#MeToo movement.
