New watchdog report shatters Biden-Harris narrative about ethics, ‘transparency’: ‘Just a myth’

A new report from a government watchdog organization is blasting the Biden-Harris administration’s claims that it is the “most ethical and transparent” administration in history, calling it a “myth.”
“From its onset, the Biden-Harris administration promised to ‘bring transparency and truth back to government,’ per then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki,” the 26-page report from Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) states.
“Psaki also claimed that President Joe Biden ‘is committed to ensuring we have the most ethically vigorous administration in history.’ However, the administration and its executive branch agencies have often failed to live up to these high ideals, and the myth of a scandal-free administration is just that: a myth.”
The report outlines alleged ethics violations throughout the Biden administration from the White House, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Interior, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Commerce, State Department and other various complaints.
“Ethics issues in the Biden-Harris administration didn’t end with Hunter Biden and the president’s family,” Michael Chamberlain, Director of Protect the Public’s Trust, told Fox News Digital. “Despite their claims to be the most ethical in history, we’ve documented possible ethics violations in most of the Cabinet-level agencies, including confirmed Hatch Act violations, conflicts of interest, and all the hazards that come with having a revolving door between official D.C. and well-connected activist groups.”
“While others have found similar Biden-Harris breaches, they are not the groups and media outlets that were so enthusiastic about uncovering problems in the last administration. Just because the public hasn’t heard much about these in the legacy media, we caution everyone to beware of future attempts to paint this as a ‘scandal-free’ administration,” he added.
