Follow the money. ProPublica has published a database of financial disclosures those folks in Cheeto's adminstraion

Earlier this week, ProPublica  released a database of financial disclosures from Cheeto and some of the officials in his administration.

I heartily recommend perusing it in its entirety.

It turns out that while Cheeto is not the absolute wealthiest person in his admin, he's close (note to readers from ProPublica and other media outlets: a database showing change in wealth over time for the same population would be a good thing).

From their database (note: all pics will be from ProPublica's database unless otherwise noted):












As this is an Arizona blog, I'll focus on his appointees from AZ.

Caveat: This is an incomplete list, and I know it - this list is compiled from news stories, press releases, agency bios, and Congressional records.  I almost certainly missed some folks; if a reader knows of someone who isn't included here, please leave their name and post in a comment.  Also, this is a moment in time - others will accept jobs in Cheeto's admin as time goes on.  Lastly, some folks may drop out of jobs with Cheeto, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.  I've already found two and deleted them from the list.

















Kari Lake may soon join the list of folks who no longer work for Cheeto - a judge ruled she was installed as head of her agency unlawfully.
