Watchdog Report Blasts Biden-Harris Administration for Breaking Transparency Vow

On the 2020 campaign trail, President Joe Biden vowed that his administration would be the most transparent in modern times. Apparently, he has failed to keep that promise, at least according to a new report from government watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT).
The report, titled “Misconduct, Malfeasance, and Double Standards,” issues some scathing criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s lack of transparency. It discusses various actions on the part of high-level White House officials and accuses the administration of prioritizing political and special interest concerns over accountability.
The authors of the report point to multiple instances in which agency officials neglected or outright violated ethical standards.
The report criticizes other watchdog groups for placing heightened scrutiny on the Trump administration while remaining “mum” on the Biden White House.
“The biggest names in the game who made it a point to go after the Trump administration over ethics violations have gone mum under the Biden-Harris administration,” the report reads.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) displayed a lack of scientific integrity and offered public health guidance without having sufficient evidence to back up their claims, especially related to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the report.
