Changes to the Revolving Door: Trump’s Ethics Executive Order
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 01.30.17
On January 28, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order setting forth the ethics restrictions for its executive agency appointees. These restrictions, discussed more fully in our blog post, are simultaneously more restrictive and less restrictive than their 2009 Obama counterparts, and appear to be more focused on appointees’ conduct following their exit from Government rather than on their conduct preceding and during their appointments.

Gender-Affirming Care Targeted for Potential False Claims Act Enforcement
On August 19, 2025, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) informed insurers participating in the Federal Employees Health Benefits or Postal Service Health Benefits programs that gender-affirming care would no longer be covered for federal workers starting in 2026. This coverage decision is the Trump Administration’s latest action stemming from Executive Order 14187 which aims to prevent certain treatments, such as gender-affirming hormone therapy, surgeries, and puberty blockers for those under the age of 19. As previously discussed, the Administration has also signaled its intent to use various law enforcement tools against gender-affirming care, including Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to police false or unsupported claims by medical professionals about gender-affirming treatments.
