What happened
Norm Eisen, former White House ethics counsel, reviewed the creditor list for a failed bank in Georgia.

Why it matters
Norm Eisen stated that allowing a government official to maintain this arrangement presents an extreme danger of a conflict of interest or the appearance of one. The venture is linked to right-wing billionaires and political figures vying for office in Georgia.
