WASHINGTON ― Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker has revised his ethics disclosure forms at least five times since President Donald Trump appointed him after former Attorney General Jeff Sessions forced resignation.
Financial disclosure forms published Tuesday evening show that Whitaker took in $900,000 in salary from a charity organization that took aim at Democrats on ethics grounds as well as $1,750 in legal fees from a dubious, since-shuttered marketing company accused of fraud.
Whitaker also took in more than $100,000 from his law firm as well as $15,000 from CNN, where he briefly served as a legal commentator who opposed special counsel Robert Muellers investigation.
Its unclear what exact information Whitaker omitted when he first filed the form upon his appointment as Sessions chief of staff in late 2017. The most recent changes were made the day after the midterm elections as well as on Nov. 8, Nov. 16, Nov. 19 and Nov. 20.
Just the kind of guy tRump wants. No ethics, no morals, constitutionally unable to be ethical or honest.
