Ethics issues pile up for Trump Cabinet officials
By Lydia Wheeler - 03/03/18 09:04 AM EST

Ethical controversies involving President Trump’s Cabinet officials are piling up and becoming a major headache for the White House.

Reports of administration officials taking lavish trips, traveling on private jets, accepting gifts and buying expensive furniture have raised deep concerns among outside groups, Democrats and even some Republicans about the way taxpayer money is being spent under the new administration.

Trump himself has drawn ire for refusing to divest his business interests and taking frequent weekend trips on Air Force One to his private resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

It was the topic of much discussion I remember.  All of the expensive trips. Now it is Trump and his cabinet.  I am thinking that he even tops the Obama's.  Guess its hard to take the higher ground when there isn't any.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
