American Oversight today called on Congress to open a formal investigation into reports that a senior advisor to President Donald Trump may be a member of a Nazi-affiliated organization.

Congress has abdicated its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities of the executive branch – from failing to vet individuals before they take office to explicitly refusing to investigate conflicts of interest and misconduct. In response to that inaction, American Oversight, a new, non-partisan, ethics organization launched today to hold the administration accountable to the American people.
