Applying for a job in the Trump administration? Here are your financial disclosure requirements.
If you want to work in Donald Trump’s administration, you’ll have disclose more personal and financial information than Trump himself revealed during the campaign. Trump, who broke precedent by refusing to release his tax returns, requires job applicants to disclose “financial holdings and sources of income” and potential conflicts of interest.
The requirement is posted on Trump’s new transition website, GreatAgain.gov, which also asks visitors to submit ideas for the new administration. But it mostly restates themes from his campaign, touting the next president’s plans for building a wall along the Mexican border and repealing Obamacare, among other things.
Even the official biography, which extols the celebrity businessman’s brand, is identical to the one on his campaign website.
“Donald J. Trump is the very definition of an American success story, continually setting the standards of excellence for real estate, sports and entertainment. In New York City and around the world, the Trump signature is synonymous with the most prestigious addresses in the world,” it states.
The transition site also features a testimonial video with Donald Trump Jr. praising his father’s trade-negotiating skills and saying the elder Trump “will make an incredible president.”
And for applicants interested in helping fill some of the 4,000 executive-branch jobs that will be available, the website warns: “You will be asked about possible conflicts of interest deriving from your sources of income; all aspects of your personal and professional life, including organization which you belong or once belonged; speeches you may have given and books, articles and editorials you may have written; legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings to which you may have been a party; in short, anything that might embarrass the President or you if he should choose you for a position in his administration.”
