Ethics office: Trump aides risk ’embarrassment’
The government ethics office says Trump risks embarrassment by announcing picks before ethics reviews.
In a letter to Senate leaders, the Chief of the Office of Government Ethics Walter Shaub described the current status of several nominees, some of whom are billionaires and millionaires, and expressed concern about the lack of ethics reviews just days from committee hearings.

Trump aides may be risking ’embarrassment for the President-elect’, by ‘announcing cabinet picks’ without letting the ethics office review their financial information in advance, according to NBC.
Shaub stated in an email to two Senators: ‘During this presidential transition, not all of the nominees presently scheduled for hearings have completed the ethics review process.
‘In fact, OGE has not received even initial draft financial disclosure reports for some of the nominees scheduled for hearings.
