EXLUSIVE: Outgoing White House PressSec Jen Psaki's use of her official position to disparage the competitor of her prospective future employer warrants an investigation, a watchdog group told the dcexaminer.
Reports circulated earlier this month that Psaki will soon leave government service to join MSNBC as a pundit after the network beat out CNN in a bidding war. While federal law requires officials to recuse themselves from any particular matters involving prospective future employers, Psaki continues to interact with MSNBC and CNN reporters during televised press briefings.
"In order to restore public trust and live up to Ms. Psaki's own commitment to transparency and engagement, we are calling upon you to investigate whether Ms. Psaki violated her ethical duties, either in her remarks regarding Fox News or in her conduct while negotiating non-federal employment more generally," the watchdog said in the letter.
Multiple ethics experts told the Washington Examiner in early April that Psaki's pending move to MSNBC raises serious ethical concerns.
