Eric Trump appeared on "Hannity" Monday night and spoke about the corruption in Washington, saying the nation’s capital is “absolutely” more corrupt than people think.

“Do I think Washington is a lot more corrupt than most Americans think? Absolutely. No question about it,” he said on the show.

“We gave uranium, the material we use to make nuclear weapons, to Russia. To Russia. I mean think about that,” he said. “And nothing gets done about it.”
