Trump Fires Top Ethics Official Overseeing Conflicts of Interest

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump has fired the head of the federal Office of Government Ethics, which oversees disclosure and potential conflicts of interest involving top government officials, according to a post on the agency’s blog.

OGE’s director supervises compliance with federal rules that require nominees to high-ranking posts, including cabinet officials, to disclose their assets and divest those that pose potential conflicts of interest. That’s proven to be a complicated task in an administration whose figures include hedge fund managers, investment bankers and financiers. In the first Trump term, OGE declined to certify Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross were in compliance with ethics laws.
