Conservative group calls for removal of 'transparency czar'

A conservative group has called on Ambassador Janice Jacobs, the State Department’s newly-appointed “transparency czar,” to resign amid revelations that she donated the maximum amount permitted by law to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

America Rising, a Republican political action committee, highlighted the “conflict of interest” created by allowing a Clinton supporter to decide which of Clinton’s emails will be disclosed to the public and Congress — a reported part of Jacobs’ new position.
