Walter’s Family and Early Life

Shaub was born in Virginia to Walter Sr. and Joann and grew up in one of its towns called Reston.

The 53 year-old attorney has not shared much about his family background and has maintained privacy about his family members. So, not much is out about his personal life or family.

However, what we know about him is his sense of humor.

While serving as the director of the US Office of Government Ethics, Shaub posted tweets on the official page of the office, mimicking then-President Trump.

He changed the formal tone of the government tweets to humorous and lighthearted.

Along with his sense of humor, Shaub is also famous for his dedication to maintaining ethics within the governmental body.

He has been questioning and advising the Presidents now and then to make sure the government doesn’t deviate from its ethics.

Shaub even suggested the former President sell all his assets to avoid future conflicts, but Trump didn’t listen to his advice, and instead, he transferred his fortune to the trusts run by his sons.

It created tension between Shaub and the Trump government, and things got worse when the government hesitated to hand over the ethics waivers to the US Office of Government Ethics.

It was the last nail in the coffin, which made Shaub resign from his post.

Even after resigning from the job, he has continued his dedication to maintaining ethics by associating with other establishments that work for the same objective.

He still gives his advice and keeps his eye on the government despite not holding any government posts.

He even called out the current President Joe Biden on the sales of the artworks of Hunter Biden.

Shaub mentioned that the prices for artworks of Hunter would be affected by the position held by his father, and a professional gallerist should handle the sale under acceptable circumstances.

The attorney has dedicated his life to maintaining ethics and still is working for the cause.
