The Trump administration is swiftly dismantling the federal government's public integrity measures, sparking concerns about transparency and accountability. With a series of firings and lax enforcement, President Trump is undermining the guardrails that protect the public interest. As the administration's actions raise eyebrows, critics warn of a potential erosion of trust in government institutions. With key watchdogs and regulatory bodies being weakened, the door is open for corruption and abuse of power. The move has significant implications for government accountability and transparency, and raises questions about the role of ethics in the Trump administration. Key issues include government oversight and regulatory reform.
