Trump’s new DOJ chief is still working for *14* different companies, per Iowa state records I reviewed.

The businesses are strikingly varied, spanning road racing, childcare, custom bikes, ice rinks, real estate & more.

This may violate DOJ ethics rules:

Here are some logos of the businesses for which Matthew Whitaker is still listed as Registered Agent.

7 of the businesses that list Whitaker as their registered agent also list as their business address the office of his former law firm, Hagenow & Gustoff (formerly Whitaker Hagenow & Gustoff LLP).

I called representatives for each of the 14 firms that list Whitaker as a registered agent. Two claimed that Whitaker had just forgotten to update the forms — but the Iowa SoS office told me every Iowa firm is required to list a current registered agent

Per Iowa SoS website: "A registered agent is an individual...designated by the entity to accept service of process if a lawsuit is filed against the entity.”

It's not clear what ownership/compensation Whitaker has received or if this violates DOJ rules.
