White House blasts Chaffetz for threatening to subpoena ethics watchdog

The White House on Friday tore into House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) for threatening to subpoena the top federal ethics watchdog. White House press secretary Josh Earnest accused Chaffetz of “seeking to intimidate a senior executive branch official who is responsible for enforcing federal ethics rules.” Earnest defended the official in question, Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub, saying he is “doing the job that Jason Chaffetz himself is refusing to do."
quote:
The comments came a day after Republicans on the House Oversight panel asked Shaub, who was appointed by President Obama, to appear privately before the committee after he criticized President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to resolve possible conflicts of interest.

So ethical of him.
Shaub has publicly criticized Trump’s plan to separate himself from his business empire.
In an unusually blunt speech on Wednesday, the director called the plan “meaningless” in erasing potential conflicts.
