The Interior Department acknowledges that many of its employees’ forms “were not reviewed and certified properly.”
Before accepting a position at the U.S. Department of the Interior
last October, Benjamin Cassidy championed gun rights for nearly seven
years as a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, collecting a
peak annual salary of $288,333 for his work on Capitol Hill.
The public wouldn’t know that by looking at Cassidy’s government financial disclosure report.
The form, which he filed soon after taking a job as senior deputy
director of the office of intergovernmental and external affairs,
doesn’t list his old job at the NRA — or any past job, for that matter.
Cassidy’s form was nearly blank, save for his name, title and some bank
holdings and investments. In the space allotted to show his income, it incorrectly stated “None.”
