NEW: A lobbyist for the corn syrup industry left her job, went straight to Trump's USDA & got an ethics waiver to help write its Dietary Guidelines. ibtimes.com/political-capi…
Before working for the Corn Refiners Association, she lobbied for the Snack Food Association & National Grocers Association & worked at ALEC and the Charles Koch Institute.
“This waiver from the ethics rules is highly inappropriate," said @CBHolman of @Public_Citizen:
I sent a request for comment to the USDA but they didn't respond today. I wanted to know what vital expertise she brought to the USDA that someone who wasn't compromised could not have offered.
