The White House officials have resigned to work in lobbying after half a year of the Trump administration
As early as the 2016 campaign, Trump had emphasized that if he was elected president, he would crack down on lobbying activities. During his second campaign, he also condemned the "revolving door" between Washington and business as a major issue.
Now, more than half a year after Trump re-entered the White House, this "revolving door" is turning vigorously, with multiple senior White House officials preparing to leave and shuttle between the federal government and K Street (a term used to refer to the American lobbying industry) to find easier lobbying jobs.
According to a report by the US website "Politico" on August 20 local time, the Republican lobbying firm CGCN Group announced on the same day that it had hired Harrison Fields, the Chief Deputy Press Secretary of the White House. The day before, Trent Morse announced that he would resign from his position as Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of the President's Personnel Office, and establish his own lobbying company, and cooperate with another well-established lobbying firm in Washington, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck.
Similarly, on August 19, the digital asset giant Tether announced that it had hired Bo Hines, the cryptocurrency advisor to the White House, to provide strategic consulting. Earlier this month, May Davis Mailman, a long-time advisor to Trump and a senior strategist at the White House, resigned from her government position and founded her own government affairs company.
