Heath Hall, acting head of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) resigned after reporters from Politico raised questions about him working as a public relations consultant while drawing a federal paycheck.

. . . .

Hall — who owns a public relations and consulting firm in Madison County (Mississippi) — pledged on a federal ethics form that the company would be “dormant” while he worked at the Department of Transportation. But as Politico noted, the firm took in payments from July to December of 2017.

The cavalier attitude towards ethics echoes Trump himself, who has refused to divest from his company’s holdings. This has turned his properties into a dumping ground for influence peddlers and big business hoping to get Trump to put his thumb on the scales on their behalf.
