As he promised: Obama lawyers team up to fight Trump
Top lawyers from former President Obama’s administration are launching a group aimed at keeping President Trump from breaking ethics rules.
United to Protect Democracy will focus on issues such as Trump administration officials potentially intervening in regulatory agencies or intimidating staff.
The organization has already submitted 50 Freedom of Information Act requests regarding ethics in the Trump administration.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer responded to the group’s formation by waving off any potential ethics concerns.
“This administration has raised the level of ethics training and oversight to a new level compared to the practices of the previous administration,” he told Politico.
