As I said when this story was first reported a couple of days, gotta love how these clowns are on a paid vacation while the country is in crisis mode because of them not being able to do their jobs. 

Why the hell is it legal for lawmakers to accept this from a foreign country?

No it isn't tax payer money but are you sure how many billion do we give them in AID money per year.

The lobbyist is paying the guy off buy giving them this trip period.

Lobbyist needs to be taken out of our government for who ever has the most money or gifts control what our senate / congress do. They do not listen to us tax payer.
