Trump Nominates Political Operative Without Law Degree to Lead Office of Government Ethics
By
Eric Katz
Summary
President Donald Trump has nominated Michael Chamberlain, a conservative political operative without a law degree, to lead the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) — a position historically held by lawyers. Chamberlain runs a right-wing advocacy group that filed ethics complaints against the Biden administration. Former OGE employees and good government groups have raised concerns about his qualifications, with critics comparing the appointment to asking a gardener to perform heart surgery. The nomination signals a potential shift in how the federal ethics watchdog operates under the Trump administration.
