Emily W. Murphy

Emily Webster Murphy ist eine US-amerikanische Juristin und Leiterin der General Services Administration (GSA) zur Unterstützung und Verwaltung der verschiedenen Bundesbehörden.[1]

Murphy wurde von US-Präsident Donald Trump 2017 zur Leiterin der GSA ernannt.[1][2]

When Joe Biden was generally acknowledged on November 7, 2020 to have won the November 2020 election, Murphy refused to sign a letter allowing Biden's transition team to formally begin work and access federal agencies and transition funds; this came as Trump refused to acknowledge Biden's victory.[2] By refusing to allow the Biden administration transition to proceed, she prevented the incoming administration from obtaining office space, performing background checks on prospective Cabinet nominees, and accessing classified information which might be needed to respond to emergencies that the administration confronts when in office.[3]

Leben

Murphy wurde in St. Louis (Missouri) geboren udn wuchs dort auch auf. Ihr Vater war Vorstandsvorsitzender der Murphy Company Mechanical Contractors and Engineers, die Mutter war Rechtsanwältin. Sie hat einen Bruder und eine Schwester. Murphy besuchte die Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School, die sie 1991 abschloss. Anschließend erwarb sie 1995 einen [Bachelor of Arts]] am Smith College und promovierte 2001 an der University of Virginia School of Law.[4][5][6][7]

Nach dem Studienabschluss zog Murphy nach Washington, D.C., wo sie von Oktober 1995 bis Januar 1997 beim Republican National Committee als Assistentin des Vorsitzenden arbeitete. Anschließend arbeitete sie bis Juli 1998 für Jim Talent, der Vorsitzender des House Committee on Small Business war, bevor sie dann promovierte.[8]

Murphy war danach Beraterin des United States House Committee on Armed Services, wo sie als Spezialistin für Akquisitionsstrategien und -reformen tätig war. Sie arbeitete außerdem für die Small Business Administration und die GSA, wo sie Abteilungsleiterin war. Murphy arbeitete dan erneut beim United States House Committee on Small Business. Außerdem arbeitete sie in der Privatwirtschaft für ein Technologie-Startup, das sich auf Verträge für Bundesinstitutionen spezialisiert hat und war drei Jahre Rechtsanwältin bei Anwaltskanzleien.[9][10]

Trump administration

Nomination and confirmation

After President Donald Trump took office in January 2017, Murphy was appointed to the position of senior advisor to acting General Services Administration administrator Timothy Horne.[11][12] On September 2, 2017, Trump nominated Murphy to the post of GSA administrator. The Senate confirmed Murphy's appointment by unanimous consent on December 5, 2017.[11]

Federal lease for Trump hotel and FBI headquarters project

During her tenure, two issues that were personally important to Trump became sources of controversy for Murphy and the GSA: the hotel that Trump operates under a federal lease (in Washington, D.C.'s Old Post Office) and plans for the relocation and consolidation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters.[2]

The FBI had long-scheduled a move out of its D.C. headquarters, the J. Edgar Hoover Building, as the aging building was falling apart and not secure.[2] The bureau's headquarters were planned to move to a suburban location.[2] Although the project had been in the works for more than a decade, Trump personally intervened in 2017 (during the first year of Trump's term and Murphy's tenure) to kill the plan.[2] Democrats said that Trump canceled the move to prevent the Hoover Building site from being redeveloped into a hotel that could compete with Trump's hotel across the street; the Trump White House denied that Trump's business played into the decision.[2][13] House Democrats investigated the episode.[13] In April 2018, Murphy told a congressional oversight hearing that the decision to stop the FBI from moving its headquarters came solely from the bureau without the involvement of Trump.[13] However, three months later, the GSA inspector general (IG) released a report finding that Murphy's statement to Congress was "incomplete and may have left the misleading impression that she had no discussions with White House officials in the decision-making."[13][14] The report revealed that Murphy and other GSA officials had multiple meetings with Trump about the FBI headquarters, specifically a two-day meeting in January 2018 between Murphy, Trump, White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, and budget director Mick Mulvaney.[15] The IG report also found that GSA officials misrepresented the costs of an alternative plan to build a new FBI headquarters in downtown D.C., portraying the replacement plan as cheaper than the original plan when it would actually be more expensive.[15] In October 2018, internal GSA emails disclosed by House Democrats showing that GSA discussed "the President's instructions", "direction from WH" and "what was decided in the meeting with POTUS" in January 2018.[13]

Inspector general report regarding use of GSA headquarters rooftop

In August 2019, a report by the GSA inspector general, examining an episode in 2017, was released under a Freedom of Information Act request. The report examined an episode in which a GSA associate administrator (who later left the government) admitted to having sex with a White House staffer on the GSA headquarters rooftop after drinking alcohol in a suite area. Murphy reportedly told investigators in February 2018 "that she 'often permits' her immediate staffers to drink alcohol in the office after business hours on Fridays but said she was 'very careful about such approvals.'"[16]

2020 presidential election

The GSA administrator officially determines when an incoming presidential administration (the winner in a presidential election) can begin to access federal agencies and transition funds. After Joe Biden became generally acknowledged on November 7, 2020 as president-elect in the November 2020 election, Murphy refused to sign a letter (the "ascertainment" determination) allowing Biden's transition team to formally begin work to facilitate an orderly transition of power.[3][2] By refusing to allow the Biden administration transition to proceed, she prevented the incoming administration from obtaining office space, performing background checks on prospective Cabinet nominees, and accessing classified information which might be needed to respond to emergencies that the administration confronts when in office.[3][2] Murphy's withholding of the letter also blocked president-elect Biden's transition team from accessing several million dollars in federal transition funds for salaries and other costs,[3][2] allowing transition officials to establish government email addresses, and allowing the transition team to start work with the Office of Government Ethics on required financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest forms for incoming nominees.[2]

The following day, the nonpartisan Center for Presidential Transition called upon the Trump administration "to immediately begin the post-election transition process and the Biden team to take full advantage of the resources available under the Presidential Transition Act".[17] The letter was signed by several experts in presidential transitions: Joshua Bolten, President George W. Bush's former chief of staff; Mike Leavitt, former governor of Utah and Bush's Secretary of Health and Human Services; Mack McLarty, Bill Clinton's former chief of staff; and Penny Pritzker, Barack Obama's Secretary of Commerce.[17] Following the 2016 presidential election, the acting GSA administrator issued the "ascertainment" letter immediately after Election Day.[3]
