A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article on AOL reports that Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, a longtime Trump ally, accused the Trump administration of corruption in a Fox News interview, citing Calley Means' claims that top aides bowed to lobbyists and that "the swamp won" despite Trump's efforts to drain it; Johnson later said he meant deep state actors in every administration, and White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis defended the president's record. The article also notes the November 2026 midterms swept Republicans from power, leaving Johnson the only Republican in statewide office after January 2027.
