Two GOP Reps Hit With $5,000 Fines Under New House Security Policy

Two Republican congressmen were slapped with $5,000 fines this week after they were accused of skipping out on new security screenings when entering the House chamber.

Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Congressman Andrew Clyde (R-GA) appear to be the first two lawmakers to face fines under the new measures, which were enacted on Tuesday following a party-line vote in the House, according to The Washington Post.
