Lobbyist Group Pressure: U.S. Lawmaker Reveals Committee Seats in Congress are Bought

A U.S. Republican lawmaker has revealed an entrenched system of corruption in Congress, where lawmakers are expected to serve special interest lobby groups and prevented from passing legislation that benefits average Americans.

In a video clip disclosed on Friday, Alabama Representative Mo Brooks further told his supporters that both dominant U.S. political parties charge their members a whopping $1 million or more for chairmanships of committees and that only those receiving “contributions” from lobby groups can afford such placements.
