Trump OPM Spokesperson Filmed Fashion Videos at Work While Supporting Layoffs

McLaurine Pinover used her government office for Instagram content during business hours as her agency oversaw significant federal workforce reductions.

McLaurine Pinover, communications chief for the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), filmed Instagram fashion videos in her government office, some during work hours.
Pinover's videos included affiliate links for clothing purchases, potentially earning her commissions, though it is unclear if she profited from these posts.
The Instagram account was deleted shortly after CNN reached out for comment, but archived content confirms the use of government property for personal promotion.
Her activities coincided with OPM's role in implementing layoffs and buyouts under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), overseen by Elon Musk.
Ethics experts and former OPM staff criticized Pinover's actions, citing federal rules against using government resources for private gain.
