Episode Details

Congresswoman Kat Cammack is demanding mandatory background checks for all House staffers, citing alarming security gaps exploited by foreign governments. Her bill would require staff to disclose any foreign citizenship or financial ties to foreign entities over the past three years — a move she says is essential to protect sensitive data, since Capitol Hill staff currently bypass the same vetting required for executive branch workers. While leadership agrees the measure is sound, Cammack says they’re moving too slowly. Backed by fellow Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who referenced disturbing declassified files about foreign agents placed in congressional offices, the bill could pass with a simple majority — and Cammack insists it’s time to act before another breach occurs.
