Carl Icahn Steps Down As Trump Adviser

[Lakhota]

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn said Friday he has stepped down as a special adviser to President Trump on regulatory reform.

Icahn has been criticized by Democrats who said his advisory role created a conflict of interest because he had not taken a formal government job and was still running his businesses.

He said in a letter to Trump that he was stepping aside with the president's "blessing" and "because I did not want partisan bickering about my role to in any way cloud your administration."

Icahn was hoping to make many millions from Trump policies. It isn't working out that way. Does anyone remember how Trump used to brag about his close friend, Carl Icahn?

No wonder Icahn stepped down.

The anchor’s summary of recent White House doings is a doozy.

The Honorable Donald J. Trump
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20500



Dear Mr. President:

This will confirm our conversation today in which we agreed that I would cease to act as special advisor to the President on issues relating to regulatory reform.

As I discussed with you, I’ve received a number of inquiries over the last month regarding the recent appointment of Neomi Rao as Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (or “regulatory czar,” as the press has dubbed her) – specifically questions about whether there was any overlap between her formal position and my unofficial role. As I know you are aware, the answer to that question is an unequivocal no, for the simple reason that I had no duties whatsoever.

I never had a formal position with your administration nor a policymaking role. And contrary to the insinuations of a handful of your Democratic critics, I never had access to nonpublic information or profited from my position, nor do I believe that my role presented conflicts of interest. Indeed, out of an abundance of caution, the only issues I ever discussed with you were broad matters of policy affecting the refining industry. I never sought any special benefit for any company with which I have been involved, and have only expressed views that I believed would benefit the refining industry as a whole.

Nevertheless, I chose to end this arrangement (with your blessing) because I did not want partisan bickering about my role to in any way cloud your administration or Ms. Rao’s important work. While I do not know Ms. Rao and played no part in her appointment, I am confident based on what I’ve read of her accomplishments that she is the right person for this important job.

I sincerely regret that because of your extremely busy schedule, as well as my own, I have not had the opportunity to spend nearly as much time as I’d hoped on regulatory issues. I truly appreciate the confidence you have in me and sincerely hope that the limited insights I shared have been helpful to you. I love our country which has allowed me to achieve so much and I thank you for the informal opportunity you have given me to aid it.



Sincerely,



CARL C. ICAHN

Well, moron, I don't have to read his statement. His act of resigning and the fact that his primary reason for joining the Trump circus (money) isn't working out as he had planned. Follow the money...

Here's how Carl Icahn's bet on Donald Trump went terribly wrong

Icahn has done his work helping Trump get elected. Now it looks even better they both have respect for each other. He still backs Trump. Calm down, snowflake.
