Conflicts of Interest

• Donald Trump meeting [with Indian businessmen] suggests he is keeping up his business ties (New York Times, 11/19/16)
• Ivanka Trump's presence at meeting with Japan's leader raises questions (New York Times, 11/18/16) 
• Ivanka Trump used her father's 60 minutes interview to market jewelry line (Huffington Post, 11/16/16)
• Donald Trump's Far-Flung Holdings Raise Potential for Conflicts of Interest (New York Times, 11/14/16)
• According to Forbes (Why Trump Won't Use a Blind Trust, 11/15/16), "The wealthiest Commander-in-Chief in American history will be exempt from conflict of interest statutes and most prohibitions against gifts (as are all U.S. presidents and vice presidents), so nothing stops Trump from maintaining the status quo and running his business from the White House. He’ll have to file a Federal Elections Committee disclosure document annually, which lists his assets and income. Tax returns, which Trump has steadfastly refused to release, do not have to be made available to the public."
