I'm not sure about the metaphor in the headline: if you fill a swamp with something other than water (rock, topsoil,...) it can contribute to draining it, if you fill it with water, you get a lake instead of a swamp.
That said, the only progress toward what we would call "draining the swamp" seems to in the form of Trump's attempts to reign in the administrative state, other than that it looks like business as usual.
