Jackson, Ryan[jackson.ryan@epa.gov] POLITICO Thur 9/14/2017 1:57:10 AM Trump ethics watchdog moves to allow anonymous gifts to legal defense funds
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics has quietly reversed its own internal policy prohibiting anonymous donations from lobbyists to White House staffers who have legal defense funds.
The little-noticed change could help President Donald Trump's aides raise the money they need to pay attorneys as the Russia probe expands - but raises the potential for hidden conflicts of interest or other ethics trouble.
