Gillibrand Lashes Out During Infrastructure Briefing, Says Trump Admin is ‘Killing People’

An infrastructure briefing by senior administration officials to a bipartisan group of senators was derailed on Tuesday by New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D.), who accused the administration of “killing people” by not prioritizing a multibillion-dollar tunnel project for her home state, a source familiar with the briefing told the Washington Free Beacon.

The briefing, delivered by Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, President Trump’s chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, and top White House aide for infrastructure policy D.J. Gibbin, came at the request of members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which will be responsible for overseeing the long-awaited infrastructure proposal.
