Mark Meadows' Post-White House Revolving Door

Former Trump Chief of Staff Lands at Conservative Policy Firm

Meadows' Move Raises Questions About Influence Peddling

Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff under President Donald Trump, has joined the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) as a senior partner. Meadows left the White House in January 2021 after a tumultuous tenure marked by his close relationship with Trump and his role in the events leading up to the January 6 Capitol riot.

CPI is a conservative think tank and advocacy group that has close ties to the Republican Party. The group has received millions of dollars from conservative donors and corporations, including the Koch brothers and ExxonMobil. Meadows' appointment to CPI has raised questions about whether he will use his position to promote policies that benefit his former allies in the Trump administration.

Meadows' move to CPI is part of a growing trend of former Trump administration officials joining conservative groups and lobbying firms. This trend has raised concerns about the potential for influence peddling and the erosion of ethical norms in Washington, D.C.
