On May 14, 2018, President Donald Trump announced that the next director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) will be a wealthy private investor who has no experience in government or pension fund management. Gordon Hartogensis, however, is well-connected, in a nepotistic way. He is married to Grace Chao, a sister of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). This makes Hartogensis a brother-in-law of both Chao and McConnell. The nomination has raised serious ethical questions, given Hartogensis’ lack of relevant experience or background, and the apparent role of nepotism.
“The White House’s process for naming and vetting candidates is flawed,” Scott Amey told The Washington Post. General Counsel for the Project on Government Oversight, Amey also charged that “this seems to be another example of who you know rather than what you know.”
