Calendars uncovered by American Oversight's litigation show that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross likely violated conflict-of-interest law by meeting with companies his wife had a financial stake in, @DanAlexander21 reports: forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
Secretary Ross met with Chevron and the CEO of Boeing at a point when his wife apparently had a $250k stake in Chevron and over $2 million in Boeing: documentcloud.org/documents/5001…
We obtained 1,800 pages of Wilbur Ross' calendar, which detail meetings he had with steel, rail, sugar, and energy industry groups in 2017. See what we found here: americanoversight.org/inside-the-doc…
These meetings raise clear ethics concerns. We obtained OGE communications about Ross' potential conflicts of interest prior to this confirmation, which include a note of caution from former OGE Director @waltshaub: documentcloud.org/documents/4359…
Secretary Ross' also met with an Invesco VP one week after Ross was supposed to have divested from the company. It was later reported that Ross failed to divest when he should have and made a profit instead: documentcloud.org/documents/5001…
