• publicintegrity.org by Christina WilkieIn an arrangement prominent ethics experts say is without precedent and potentially illegal, the White House is referring questions for senior presidential adviser Stephen K. Bannon to an outside public relations agent whose firm says she is working for free.

It was Preate who responded when the Center for Public Integrity recently asked the White House Press Office questions about Bannon.
