ABOUT THE FIVE YEAR BAN FOR LOBBYISTS IN THE U.S.

Everyone being vetted for a high-level appointment must pledge not to become a registered lobbyist for five years after they leave the Trump’s administration and never lobby for a foreign government. This applies to registered state and federal lobbyists.  In addition, all current registered lobbyists must be prepared to deregister in order to be considered for a post. Every person who joins the administration will be asked to sign a lobbying ban form that states they are not registered lobbyist. If they are they will have to provide evidence of their termination.
