Trump adviser Gary Cohn's $285 million Goldman Sachs exit raises eyebrows
By Matt Egan January 27, 2017 09:08AM EST
Gary Cohn is walking away from a career at Goldman Sachs to become President Trump's top economic adviser with a stunning $285 million.
Goldman's willingness to give Cohn a chunk of that fortune ahead of schedule is causing unease among ethics experts, who say the huge payout will make him beholden to the Wall Street firm he worked at for 25 years. They say that Cohn should have to recuse himself from Trump administration matters linked to his former firm.
