Outgoing Ethics Chief Makes Statement

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Walter Shaub, the outgoing head of the Office of Government Ethics, told the New York Times that the U.S. is "close to a laughingstock" when it comes to ethical standards. Shaub announced earlier this month that he would be leaving the Office of Government Ethics. The White House issued a statement saying that Shaub was more interested in "grandstanding and lobbying" than advising the executive branch on ethics.
