A top Biden administration official appears to have “violated” federal law by promoting a reporter’s book on social media, watchdogs told the Washington Examiner.
Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency under the Department of Homeland Security, deleted a tweet on Tuesday that endorsed Wired reporter Andy Greenberg’s 2022 book Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency. However, since federal officials are barred from using their “position or title” to “endorse any product, service or enterprise,” Easterly’s move may put her in violation of the law, watchdogs say.
