Summary
The Senate confirmed President Biden’s David Huitema as head of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in a 50-46 vote, securing his five-year term before the Republican-led administration of President-elect Donald Trump begins.
The OGE has been without a director for over a year, and Huitema’s appointment ensures the office is staffed to oversee the critical presidential transition process.
However, concerns remain, as Trump could fire Huitema or bypass ethics protocols for key appointees.
Ethics groups applauded the confirmation but warned of significant challenges ahead under Trump’s leadership.
