The current corruption of the Trump Administration is being very under reported

From hi-jacking PPEs to cronyism loans from the SBA to whatever graft Jared is up to.
It's like the media has decided that business as usual for Trump is not worth looking at.

And why aren't Democrats screaming louder about this?

And the failure of our free press.

If Democrats identify it then it is dismissed or qualified as partisan politics by the free press. But then the free press seems incapable of investigative reporting given the lack of reporting on same topic.
