A letter from Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub is warning that the Republican Senate Majority is about to confirm Trump nominees who have not provided sufficient information or disclosed potential conflicts of interest.

What is happening is that Trump’s nominees are following the precedent established by their boss. Donald Trump didn’t disclose his medical records, tax returns, or potential conflicts of interest as a candidate, so his nominees are also not disclosing critical information about interests and activities that could pose a conflict.

Trump and his nominees are setting the stage for the most corrupt presidential administration in modern political history, but the blame does not rest solely with the ethically challenged individuals that Trump has nominated.

The majority of the blame rests with Senate Republicans who are willing to push through nominees without proper vetting and information. Republicans are giving the most corrupt president-elect potentially ever a free pass. When this all goes wrong, it will be Majority Leader McConnell and company who will be responsible.
