We are just
over one week since the election, and Donald Trump and his transition team
are already breaking the law.

I would know — I wrote the law.

You see, an earlier law, the Presidential Transition Act, was passed in
1963 to ensure a smooth transfer of executive powers between
administrations. Its aim is to prevent any government disruptions that
would harm the American public or our national security.

I authored the Transition Team Ethics Improvement Act to add new ethical
standards to that law, like:

* Requiring eligible presidential candidates to develop and release
transition team ethics plans and disclose how they will address their
own conflicts of interest before the election. These disclosures are
required by October 1st in an election year, providing the public with
the opportunity to assess candidates' ethics plans prior to a general
election;
* Requiring transition team members to sign an ethics-specific code of
conduct; and
* Establishing a set of minimum requirements for transition team ethics
plans, including information about how the transition team will
enforce a code of ethical conduct and address the role of lobbyists on
transition teams.

These provisions of my bill were included in bipartisan legislation that
was enacted in 2020.

But Trump and his transition team have not signed the legally required
ethics agreement.

This is what illegal corruption looks like. Plain and simple.

We already knew that Trump didn’t respect the law. That’s been proven in
court. But I won’t accept standing idly by and watching as he swats away
ethics requirements and bulldozes checks and balances — and we need to
call out and fight back against this corruption with every chance we get.

the ethics agreements required under the Presidential Transition Act.

We already saw Donald Trump run the most corrupt administration in modern
history.

That’s one of the biggest reasons why I introduced these ethics
enhancements to the Presidential Transition Act.

It’s simple: The American people should have complete confidence that
government officials — including those running presidential transitions —
are making decisions with only one factor in mind: the public interest.
Not their own financial interests. Not the interests of big donors and
giant corporations. The public interest.

I’m going to keep up the fight to demand that Trump and his transition
team follow this law — and I’m also going to keep up the fight for broad
anti-corruption reform, like banning members of Congress and federal
judges from owning and trading individual stocks and imposing an
enforceable code of conduct on the Supreme Court.

[ [link removed] ]Together we can demonstrate that the American people do not accept
this. Add your name if you’re with me: The Trump administration must
uphold the rule of law.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
