Newt Gingrich's semi-hilarious ethics lecture: Donald Trump is so rich we can't worry about it

In 1997, the House of Representatives reprimanded its speaker, Newt Gingrich, for ethical violations. Gingrich had admitted to violating federal tax law and then lying to a congressional committee investigating the charges against him. The House voted overwhelmingly to fine Gingrich $300,000, the first time in its 200-year history that the congressional body had reprimanded and punished a speaker for ethical violations.
