New watchdog report shatters Biden-Harris narrative about ethics, ‘transparency’: ‘Just a myth’

FIRST ON FOX: A new report from a government watchdog organization is blasting the Biden-Harris administration’s claims that it is the “most ethical and transparent” administration in history, calling it a “myth.”

“From its onset, the Biden-Harris administration promised to ‘bring transparency and truth back to government,’ per then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki,” the 26-page report from Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) states.

The report also suggests that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has violated the Hatch Act, along with White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates, and raises concerns about former press secretary Psaki’s “apparent conflict of interest while looking to leave federal service for a high-salary television job.”
