White House ethics lawyer Stefan Passantino is leaving the Trump administration, a senior White House official told NBC News Thursday.
His last day is Friday.
Passantino — who had been in charge of making sure White House officials complied with government ethics rules — had helped several White House officials deal with a number of ethics controversies, including a notorious March 2017 incident when Kellyanne Conway, a counselor to President Donald Trump, plugged the clothing line of Ivanka Trump on national television.
Passantino is just the latest lawyer to depart the Trump White House.
