The Trump administration has created a whole new playing field for lobbying firms in Washington, D.C., and it's helping some of his staffers financially, according to a new report.
There have been a slew of recent departures from the Trump administration that seem premature, according to a report by Politico. For example, the all-Republican lobbying firm CGCN Group hired the former White House principal deputy press secretary; crypto giant Tether hired the former White House cryptocurrency adviser, and the deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the Office of Presidential Personnel partnered with another high-profile lobbying firm, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck.
Ivan Adler, an executive search business owner who described himself to Politico as the "Lobbyist Hunter," told the outlet that the moves represent the changes the Trump administration has implemented.
“It may seem unusual and a little bit early," Adler told Politico. “But I think we’re in a different world.”
“The demand for these folks is so high that business and folks are looking for a sherpa for this administration, just because it’s so different,” Adler continued.
Trent Morse, the presidential personnel deputy director, told Politico that he started his lobbying firm because clients are looking for "strategic counsel" to navigate both Trump and his chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
