From the transcript

Uh, in my position as the Director of Office of Government Ethics, which I take seriously— I've taken ethics seriously my entire career, when I was at my law firm, when I was at DOL, when I was at the EEOC— This is very important to me. It's an honor the president has selected me to write. So let's get to the question because I've got just about a minute left. Are there any actions that the Trump administration has taken in the last year that you have ethical concerns about or see as a financial conflict of interest? I would rely and have relied on the career ethics officials at the Office of Government Ethics to make that.
