Fox News
President Donald Trump, in one of his final acts of office, released current and former members of his administration from the terms of their ethics pledge, which included a five-year ban on lobbying their former agencies.
Trump signed the one-page revocation of the order on Tuesday, and it was released by the White House shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, hours before his term ends. The new order states: "Employees and former employees subject to the commitments in Executive Order 13770 will not be subject to those commitments after noon January 20, 2021."More Related News
