WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) - Two House lawmakers

asked the Transportation Department's top ethics official to

detail how the agency is addressing potential conflicts of

interest regarding Trump adviser Elon Musk given ongoing

investigations into SpaceX and Tesla.

"Mr. Musk remains in charge of a sprawling private sector

business empire that continues to rely on billions of dollars in

government funding and has been charged with managing his own

conflicts of interest. This arrangement is corrupt on its face

and threatens accountable, democratic governance," wrote

Representative Gerald Connolly, top Democrat on the House

Oversight Committee and Representative Emily Randall on

Thursday.
