After a standoff with the Office of Government Ethics over whether the White House had to disclose ethics waivers given to White House staff members, the Trump administration blinked first. On May 31st, the administration disclosed that it has issued 14 waivers — more than four times the amount Barack Obama granted during his first four months and almost as many as he granted during his entire time in the Oval Office. These waivers are exceptions to an executive order Trump passed during his first week in office, preventing White House staff members from being involved in past lobbying issues or matters related to their previous work.
