As we head into the new year we're counting down the 10 biggest 2018 corruption stories from current Trump cabinet members. Follow along to see the worst of the worst in our Corruption Countdown!
#🔟: Ben Carson claimed to be "shocked by the cost" of a new dining set ordered for his office. Emails later showed it was handpicked by "the Secretary and Mrs. Carson".

9⃣ @SecElaineChao is still receiving millions in payouts from Wells Fargo after they preyed on vulnerable Americans. We sent this letter to future Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee Maxine Waters to find out more. restorepublictrust.org/restore-public…
8⃣ @stevenmnuchin1 spent $1 million dollars on travel expenses in just a few months. How? He often took military planes in place of commercial aircrafts, and even asked about using a government plane for his honeymoon! usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
7⃣ @BetsyDeVosED has close ties to for-profit colleges. After she took over @usedgov, staff looking into questionable practices at these schools were assigned to other tasks instead. What was Secretary DeVos hiding? nytimes.com/2018/05/13/bus…
6⃣ @SecElaineChao has seized the chance to use her office to promote her family, appearing in interviews with her shipping magnate father and DOT flags. Public offices should not be used for personal profit. politico.com/story/2018/05/…
5⃣ @SecretaryRoss may have used insider information to personally profit off the sale of stocks. apnews.com/4aecdeb1b27849…
4⃣ @SecretarySonny has a history of using political offices to benefit his wealthy friends -- and it seems he's at it again. He won't let science or even Americans' health get in the way of big business. theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
3⃣ @SecretaryZinke met with developers in his official office about a Montana land deal, causing an investigation into his possible use of govt resources for personal profit. After at least 18 investigations, Zinke is finally stepping down. motherjones.com/environment/20…
2⃣ @EPAAWheeler was a lobbyist for the industries he is now tasked with regulating. Which side of the revolving door is he likely to stand up for? nytimes.com/2018/08/01/cli…
1⃣ @SecretaryRoss lied to Congress about his desire to include a citizenship question on the 2020 Census -- an addition that would effectively amount to political tampering in the Census. rawstory.com/2018/12/wilbur…
