Drain! The! Swamp! Or not. Donald Trump signed an executive order way back in early 2017 that supposedly banned lobbyists from working in his administration on issues they’d lobbied on within the previous two years. He left himself a big old loophole, of course, with a provision allowing recent lobbyists to get waivers. Even so, the Trump administration is not sticking with the Donald’s swamp-draining order, according to 30 complaints filed by Public Citizen:

Last summer, Public Citizen identified 36 lobbyists who'd been tapped for government jobs dealing with issues they'd lobbied on, and only six of those appointees have received waivers since then, the group said. [...]

One individual cited by Public Citizen was Byron Anderson, a special assistant to the secretary of labor, who the group said "appears to be working on the same specific issue areas he had lobbied on within the last two years, and has not received a waiver from the ethics rules." According to Anderson's LinkedIn profile, he worked as a vice president of federal affairs at Transamerica until January 2017.

Another individual cited for the same reason was Andrew Wheeler, who worked as a lobbyist for the coal industry as recently as May 2017, according to Bloomberg News.

The group also filed complaints citing employees at the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Health and Human Services, Commerce, Interior, Energy, Education, Agriculture, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and the White House Office of Management and Budget.
