White House to share information about lobbyist waivers
WASHINGTON — The White House is preparing to post to its website information about waivers it has granted to ex-lobbyists working in the president’s office.
Spokeswoman Lindsay Walters says the information will be available before the Thursday deadline set by the Office of Government Ethics.
A letter Friday from the Office of Management and Budget says the rest of the executive branch — departments such as Treasury, State and Defence — also will comply.
Similar information was shared with the ethics office during the Obama administration. OGE Director Walter Shaub had asked President Donald Trump to continue that tradition, formally making a request last month.
