Top Trump official misused office to get son-in-law job, probe finds

Mike Stoker is leaving as administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 9, which includes California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii and the Pacific islands.

Domenech did not respond to an emailed request for comment. Frandy did not respond to a telephone message seeking comment. “Firing Mr. Domenech is the only serious course of action at this point — another round of ethics training is clearly just a waste of time, since it hasn’t sunk in by now,” Grijalva said in a statement.Bernhardt, a former lobbyist for the oil and gas industry and other private interests, took over as secretary after Zinkeamid multiple ethics allegations and has publicly sought to tamp down on misbehavior at the agency, in part by hiring more ethics officials.

Domenech previously worked as a political appointee in the Interior Department under former President George W. Bush. He later went to work for the Texas Public Policy Foundation and was supposed to recuse himself for two years from dealings with the group.

And nothing will be done about it except those that started the probe will be fires

Imagine if like, a vice president, did something like that.

Look at the White House for guidance!

And that sort of nepotism doesn't happen in any other government, local, county, state and federal? It's as common as pig tracks throughout our nation.

'In 2017 Trump signed an executive order requiring appointees to recuse themselves for two years on any matters involving their former employers and clients.' But . . career politicians are career politicians. Perhaps this one career will end.

Par for this administration. When is Zinke going to pay back the $ he used that was supposed to go to fund the CA wildfires?

He'd fit in right here in CA, whether it's LA City Hall, or the CA state legislature.

Oopsie daisy....you meant Biden

Is the “top Trump official” the President?

Domenech...that name sounds familiar:

What else is new! They're all cut from the same cloth.

Is anyone really surprised by this revelation? Corruption is part and parcel of the Trump presidency.

Just another Enabler gorging themselves at the “Trump Trough” TrumpTrough

Like Biden

realDonaldTrump POTUS literally hired his entire family for jobs they had no qualifications for or any business taking.

What about Jared

Now do Biden, Romney and Polosi

Draining the swamp.... What a joke. RNC at it's best

Duh? Where have we seen this before

Only cool if he smokes crack and doesn't speak Ukrainian

Isn’t that too trump official Donald trump?

He got it at Jared!

Nepatism in the Trump administration I wonder where he got the idea

File under: Obvious

As did tRump.

So not surprised if it's true. so much the MO of the GrifterInChief, the GOP & their cronies. F them all.
