Sen. Warren Cites Big Tech Impact From Sweeping Anti-Corruption Bill

Large tech firms would feel the impact of an anti-corruption bill introduced by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday. In 2017, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft spent a combined $50 million lobbying Democrats and Republicans, Warren said. The Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act would ban congressional lawmakers, cabinet secretaries, federal judges and other senior officials from trading stock; ban foreign lobbying; ban lawmakers, presidents and agency heads for life from lobbying; and establish an anti-corruption agency.
