"The confirmation comes as the clock winds down on Democratic control of the US Senate and as concerns grow about the potential for corruption in a second Trump administration. Huitema, head of the State Department's ethics program, will lead the OGE through the duration of Republican President-elect Donald Trump's tenure. The OGE has been without a director for over a year, and ethics advocates cheered the confirmation, seeing it as an important step to safeguard ethics compliance."

If we learned anything from Trump\u0026#39;s presidency, it\u0026#39;s that he uses his power to enrich himself and his buddies.That\u0026#39;s why on Day One of his term, it\u0026#39;s important that we\u0026#39;ll have a government ethics chief in place who serves the American people, not Trump\u0026#39;s wallet. https://t.co/p8lHQ4tPvKread more\nhttps://crooksandliars.com/2024/11/senate-confirms-ethics-czar-who-trump-cant",
