Freedom Caucus chairman seeks clarification from Mulvaney on lobbyist comments

House Freedom Caucus chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) on Wednesday said he wants White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney to clarify comments that he had a “hierarchy” in his Congressional office for meeting with constituents and lobbyists.

“I’ve got to call Mick to ask him for clarification on that,” Meadows told reporters. “I wouldn’t know if a lobbyist has given me a dime or ten dimes.”

“If you have someone who comes in the door and it’s based on how much money they’ve given,” he added, “that’s a problem.”

Mulvaney, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), on Tuesday told a Washington conference of more than 1,000 bankers that he would always value his South Carolina constituents over lobbyists, but he made headlines for also saying he would likely only meet with a lobbyist if they donated money to his campaign.
