Trump’s Business has Expanded Since 2016 — and so Have his Potential Conflicts
The Washington Post reports, "Foreign governments and corporations spent millions of dollars at Trump’s hotels and golf courses during his first term, sometimes booking dozens of rooms at his D.C. hotel – a business he has since sold – when their leaders were in town to meet with him."
John Pelissero, Ethics Center director of government ethics thinks the opportunities for conflicts between Trump’s personal interests and the country’s would be “massive."
“Just as people went to his hotels to curry influence with him, people who want to have some influence over him will probably find ways to invest in the social media company or this new crypto venture,” Pelissero said.
