“TYT has learned that the brother of White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, an architect of the GOP tax plan, is a portfolio manager for the secretive investment arm of Apple Inc., which under the tax plan stands to gain a bigger windfall than any other company.
A spokesperson for the White House budget office did not deny the connection, and in an email to TYT said, “The conflict laws do not extend to broad Government matters affecting a large and diverse group of the public, such as corporate tax reform. Further, there is no real or apparent conflict of interest between an employee’s duties and the financial interests of a sibling’s employer.”
The spokesperson added, “To put it better—all Americans are going to benefit from tax reform, so by that logic we are all ‘conflicted.’ That’s clearly not the case here.” The White House did not respond to questions about whether Mick Mulvaney had communicated with his brother or any Apple lobbyists about the tax plan.”
