President Donald Trump still hasn't delivered on a campaign promise he said would be addressed within his first 100 days in office: a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
Trump outlined that promise in his 100-day action plan to" Make America Great Again," claiming it would "clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, D.C."
But there's no sign Trump has moved on this pledge in the 11 months he has been in the White House.
Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 28, a few days into his presidency, prohibiting executive branch appointees from lobbying for five years after their service, partially addressing a separate campaign promise. But that had no effect on foreign lobbyists raising money for U.S. elections.
The Sunlight Foundation, an organization that advocates for open government, told PolitiFact it also had seen no action from the Trump White House on this promise. Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group, also told PolitiFact it was unaware of any push to extend provisions in the January order to others.
To prevent foreign money flowing into American elections would also require closing up certain legal loopholes allowing people to donate through shell companies and political nonprofits, the Sunlight Foundation's executive director John Wonderlich previously told us.
Pending action from the Trump administration, this promise rates Stalled.
