πΊπΈπ¬π· Bloomberg: U.S. Secretary of State Robby reminded State Department employees to comply with ethics rules, a day after President Donald Trump dismissed U.S. ambassador to Greece Gilpoyl.
In a memo to the staff, Robby emphasized the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest, acting without bias, and not using public positions for private profit.
He emphasized compliance with the Hatch Act, which restricts political activity by federal government employees.
\"As part of demonstrating our personal and professional integrity, I expect employees to avoid conflicts of interest in our work, to act without bias, and to refrain from using our public offices for private profit.
Our role is not to respond every time someone decides to give the media something without any prior warning, without having any chance to look at it and see what's there\".
