WASHINGTON — A few weeks before he left the U.S. Senate in January, Pat Toomey helped block the Enablers Act, a bipartisan proposal designed to curtail corruption and money laundering.
Since then, the Pennsylvania Republican has taken jobs in a pair of industries — private equity and cryptocurrency — that lobbied aggressively against the bill, sparking calls to overhaul ethics laws and address what's known as "the revolving door" between government and the private sector.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group, said Toomey's new gigs — he's a director of Apollo Global Management and an adviser to Coinbase — came not long after he fought against the Enablers Act.
