(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)Donald Trump's incoming White House chief of staff warned the director of the Office of Government Ethics on Sunday to "be careful" about criticizing Trump's handling of his business conflicts. "The head of the government ethics ought to be careful because that person is becoming extremely political," Priebus said on ABC News's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Priebus suggested that Shaub, who was appointed by President Obama, was supportive of Hillary Clinton during the campaign.
