Complaint: American Oversight v. Education – Steven Menashi’s Communications and Ethics Documents

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's management of the department has raised serious questions about the level of influence that the charter school and for-profit college industries have had at the department.

The fingerprints of White House Senior Adviser Stephen Miller appear on many of the Trump administration’s harshest immigration policies, from travel bans to refugee admissions caps. American Oversight is investigating how one of the president’s most loyal and long-serving advisers has shaped the administration’s hardline positions, and how he and his allies have inserted themselves at agencies across the federal government.

President Trump has made it clear that he values personal loyalty above experience or competence — and he has appointed hundreds of new officials across the federal government. The public has a right to know who these appointees are, what backgrounds they bring to their work, and whether they have any conflicts of interest.
