In a New York Times article on the subject, Center Senior Fellow in Government Ethics Judy Nadler commented, “You’re fooling yourself if you think you can wear those two hats and not have it influence the outcome.” For more on conflicts of interest in government, see the Ethics Center's Introduction to Government Ethics.
