'He should be fired. Mnuchin failed to comply with ethics rules in financial disclosure.'

George W. Bush's former ethics counsel said Monday that Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin should be fired for failing to comply with federal ethics rules.

Virginia Canter, the Chief Ethics Counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington , told The New York Times that it was highly unusual for a government official to not receive certification. In a letter written last week to the Treasury Department's Assistant General Counsel, Mnuchin said "as to my imputed interest in Stormchaser Partners LLC , consistent with the advice of Treasury's DAEO on April 20, 2017, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter that to my knowledge has a direct and predictable effect on my imputed financial interest in Stormchaser Partners LLC.

Mnuchin has previously faced allegations of ethical misconduct. In 2017, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden called for an investigation after Mnuchin promoted The Lego Batman Movie, which was funded by a company that Mnuchin co-founded.
