Vowing to focus on ethics in her first term, Democratic Sen.-elect Amy Klobuchar said on Monday that she will not accept gifts, meals or trips from private groups or individuals. She said she'll abide by a personal gift ban regardless of what Congress does and that it will be styled after Minnesota's law, featuring few exceptions: She'll still be allowed to accept plaques, and "my husband is still going to give me a Christmas gift, I hope."
