We have written here for years about Andrew Ceresney’s work as the Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. Ceresney joined the SEC in 2013, but he had a long legal career before that–including an interesting case now making headlines from his days in the private sector that involves the Republican Party Nominee for President, Donald Trump.
This week, after it was discovered the parts of Melania Trump’s speech at the RNC convention were plagiarized from Michelle Obama’s 2008 convention speech, a Trump employee named Meredith McIver stated that the borrowed passages were her mistake. According to The Washington Post, McIver was also the co-writer with Trump in 2004 on a book called, “How to Get Rich,” and in 2007 Trump testified that McIver was to blame for factual errors in the book concerning how deeply in debt he had fallen before making a major financial comeback.
