Trump's Choice For New Ethics Chief Wins Praise: 'Somebody Who Plays It By The Book'
Emory Rounds III is "somebody who plays it by the book," said former White House ethics counsel Richard Painter.
President Trump has picked a new chief for the Office of Government Ethics, seven months after the last confirmed head of the agency quit in frustration over his conflicts with the White House.
Emory A. Rounds III is an associate counsel at OGE, a career civil. The White House announced Wednesday that Trump intends to nominate Rounds as OGE director for a five-year term that requires Senate confirmation.
