Trump Revokes His Own Lobbying Ban For Former Officials
(From Zerohedge)
In one of his last acts in office, President Trump revoked his administration’s five-year lobbying ban on former administration officials, in a Wednesday morning executive order, according to Politico.
The move – which mirrors Bill Clinton revoking his own five-year ban on lobbying in the 90s – essentially rewards those who remained in the Trump administration until the end with the opportunity for continuous employment, while granting a reprieve to former officials who had “not been able to work,” as Trump joked would be the case when he signed the original order in 2017.
