Commerce Secretary Ross repeatedly failed to divest from stocks that pose a conflict of interest within 90 days of his confirmation — even though it was required by his ethics agreement. @levinecarrie reports on Ross' latest omission: publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
This isn't the first time Ross didn't divest from stocks when he was required to do so under ethics laws. Ross failed to divest from his Invesco stock until December 2017, and made millions of dollars in profit: publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
We obtained 1,900 pages of Ross' calendars which show extensive meetings with steel, rail, sugar, and energy industry groups: americanoversight.org/inside-the-doc…

Tomorrow, House Democrats will begin oversight. We've already been filing FOIA requests and will sue to get the documents if the administration tries to stonewall Congress. See what we've filed so far: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We filed a FOIA to find out if USDA senior official Rebeckah Adcock violated the terms of her ethics agreement by meeting with those associated with her former employer: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
The EPA suppressed a report from the CDC on the health effects of perfluorinated compounds. We want to know if the chemical industry influenced this decision: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…

.@SecretaryZinke is leaving the administration one day before the the new Congress to avoid facing scrutiny. But just because he's leaving doesn't mean we're done investigating: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…
.@Interior recently classified uranium as a “critical mineral." We submitted a FOIA to find out if the the uranium mining industry influenced this decision — and what impact it could have on national monuments: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
From putting a high school friend with no experience in charge of grants to giving a $300 million contract to restore power in Puerto Rico to a tiny company from his hometown, it's clear Zinke favored personal connection over experience: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…

Now that the House is investigating, Ben Carson could face real accountability for his son's participation in the Baltimore listening tour, retaliation against an employee who objected to his spending, and Armstrong Williams' role at the agency: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Ben Carson allegedly demoted an employee who objected when he tried to spend $31,000 on a dining set. Emails we obtained show she was frequently asked about exceeding the $5,000 limit on renovations: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
See our investigation into Ben Carson's leadership at HUD and his family's involvement at the agency: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

(1/13) It is remarkable just how many potential conflicts of interest Wilbur Ross had during his first year as commerce secretary. Here’s a visual sampling, starting with a company we all know, Chevron.
(2/13) Lesser known: Greenbrier, a company in which Wilbur Ross had a stake that he did not list on his financial disclosure report, even though he was required to do so by law.
(3/13) His wife also had a significant interest in Boeing, worth nearly $3 million.
