Trump Moves to Block Ethics Inquiry Into Ex-Lobbyists on Payroll

[JohnnyApplesack]

The Trump administration, in a significant escalation of its clash with the government’s top ethics watchdog, has moved to block an effort to disclose any ethics waivers granted to former lobbyists who have work in the White House or federal agencies.

The latest conflict came in recent days when the White House, in a highly unusual move, sent a letter to Walter M. Shaub Jr., the head of the Office of Government Ethics, asking him to withdraw a request he had sent to every federal agency for copies of the waivers. In the letter, the administration challenged his legal authority to demand the information.

I guess that in a way you're right. The fact that Trump is a scam artist cheating the American people in every way he can is not surprising news.

Trump challenged the Office of Government Ethics right to ask for copies of wavers issued by the administration. When you consider that Obama used executive privilege to block his IRS chief from testifying in a congressional inquiry about the criminal use of the IRS to spy on and intimidate political enemies the breathless story about Trump and ethics appears petty and laughable.
