   In a startling cheap shot at its predecessor, the Biden administration has   
   denied already-approved paid family-leave benefits to several Trump   
   political appointees.   
      
   Vanessa Ambrosini, who worked four years in Trump’s Commerce Department,   
   got approved for three months of parental leave when she and her husband   
   welcomed a child a week before Christmas. But when President Biden took   
   office, she discovered she was no longer granted the benefit, Politico   
   reported.   
      
   “I got completely screwed,” she said. “There were no caveats in that   
   language saying anything about if the administration turns, you get   
   nothing, and of course, that happened and so I got nothing.”   
      
   Several other Trump officials also lost their benefits. The White House   
   declined to go on record, but an official told Politico that political   
   appointees “do not enjoy the promise of federal employment past the end of   
   the administration in which they choose to serve.”   
      
   And sure, fair. But these employees were told the Biden administration   
   would honor their approved family leave, only to find out at the last   
   minute it would end as soon as Biden was sworn in.   
      
   The anonymous official, according to Politico, also cited Trump’s failing   
   to execute a quick and orderly transition. And that seems to be the nugget   
   of it: Trump’s political appointees are guilty by association.   
      
   There’s no precedent for whether or not to honor leave in such   
   circumstances, as the paid-leave benefit only went into effect in October.   
   But Biden tweeted in praise of the law in 2019, saying it was “about time   
   that federal workers get paid parental leave” to “address their own health   
   needs or care for any of their loved ones.” Is there any other   
   circumstance where liberals wouldn’t want a generous interpretation of   
   family-leave rules?   
      
   This petty vindictiveness doesn’t auger well for Biden’s vows to heal the   
   nation’s divisions.
