Resigned tonight. The robust way he stood up to the Trump Administration and to trump himself on ethics issues and the president s unprecedented financial conflicts of interest. His name is walter shoeb. He said he was not forced out of the Office Of Government Ethics. He basically says hes leaving because the u. S. Governmentestics rules are not Strong Enough to allow him to stand up to what this president and his family are doing so he is leaving his jb at the Office Of Government Ethics in order to try to strengthen the rules from the outside. Very interesting resignation today. Weve got more on that story ahead. Theres a lot going on. Weve got a big show tonight. I said at the very end of last nights show weve got a scoop to share with you tonight. This is that scoop. Inhouse on your staff weve been talking about this as and inside, kind of an insideout
story. Not your typical news story, not your particular scoop. But i think its important. One of the few times weve ever had a sco
story. big deal right. new detail evidence into american intelligence gathering on russian shan attempts to get inside the election system. this was a big story based again on a very classified document. real story for the intercept. now a month later the intercept story is remembered less for the content of the story and more for what happened immediately after they published. because immediately after they published it we learned that there was an arrest. we got our first head s up of the intercept story just before 4 p.m. on june 5th. an hour later at 5 p.m., the justice department announced they had arrested the person who had allegedly leaked that top secret document to the intercept. and this is a pending federal case against that nsa contractor. it s not resolved at all.
