A labor official in the President Donald Trump administration was reinstated this week after an investigation spurred by a Bloomberg Law article about comments he made on Facebook three years ago.

Bloomberg Law published the article claiming Leif Olson made anti-semitic posts on the social media platform. Reporter Ben Penn said that he requested comments from the White House and Department of Labor about the posts and four hours later, the department said Olson resigned.
