‘Skirting ethical rules’: Trump’s key staff under investigation at interior agency
Based in part on reporting by the Guardian last year, a non-partisan group alleged a ‘disturbing pattern of misconduct’
Following allegations of a “disturbing pattern of misconduct” at Donald Trump’s interior department, based in part on Guardian reporting, the agency’s watchdog has opened a probe into six top officials there.
It comes in response to a 20 February ethics complaint filed by the Campaign Legal Center, a non-partisan watchdog group, that alleged a culture of “skirting ethical rules” among key staff appointed in the wake of Trump’s November 2016 election victory.
