Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have continued to conduct themselves in ways that create a real possibility that they are capitalizing on their roles as government officials to enrich themselves.

Today's introduction of H.R. 1, the For the People Act, marks the beginning of an effort to restore the promise of our democracy. The House must act quickly to pass this meaningful set of voting, ethics, and campaign finance reforms. 1/2https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/welcomes-hr1/ …

Just-departed Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke is apparently not only being investigated for multiple possible ethics violations but also for possibly having lied to investigators.

A foreign official receiving free tickets to attend a New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago may not have violated the law, but it creates a significant risk of conflicts of interest and raises many ethics questions, as I discussed with

The framers of the constitution were worried about presidential power and corruption. They specifically intended Congress to be a check on the President, and they set up a system specifically to ensure that. That system of checks and balances is needed now more than ever. 2/2

Some are already attacking oversight of the administration by the new Congress as an illegitimate effort to destroy the President. That is a fundamental misreading of our system and our history. 1/2https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/01/03/trumps-reign-corruption-will-now-face-real-opposition-here-are-three-things-watch/?utm_term=.33e959830d29 …

For two years, Congress utterly shirked its constitutional oversight responsibilities. But I am hopeful the new Congress being sworn in today will change that and pursue real oversight of the ethics abuses, corruption, and improper influence that characterize this administration.

The Department of Interior proposing regulations that allow it to disregard the Freedom of Information Act when it chooses to is obviously a huge problem on legal and policy levels -- but indicative of this administration's attitude toward transparency.https://twitter.com/BySteveReilly/status/1080507757147705344 …

@CREWcrew's Donald Sherman called for members of Congress to receive regular ethics training. Proposed House rules announced this week would make that change.

Great news in the proposed House Rules package announced yesterday: Members of Congress would be required to undergo ANNUAL (not one-time-in-a-career) ethics training! This may seem like low-hanging fruit, and it is, but it's also necessary.pic.twitter.com/GN0vEQm763
