Trump made $160 mil in business deals

T. A. Gardner said:
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would maintain ownership of his global business empire but hand off control to his two oldest sons while president, an arrangement that watchdogs said would not prevent conflicts of interest in the White House.

Trump told a news conference he would resign from all positions overseeing his hotels, golf courses and hundreds of other businesses and move his assets into a trust to help ensure that he will not consciously take actions as president that would benefit him personally.

Trump, a Republican, is under pressure to distance himself from his businesses before he moves into the White House on Jan. 20. Unlike other U.S. government officials, the president is not required by law to steer clear of conflicts of interest.

He made a better show of it. Biden denies having any outside business dealings even as the evidence piles up he was eyeballs deep in corrupt business schemes with his family pedaling influence.

Are you referring to the "evidence" from right wing spew? His family has been under investigation for several years, and nothing. Trump is the one under indictment, trump is the one who will suffer further indictments. Haven't seen one yet named Biden.

There ya go again...an indictment doesn't mean conviction. Your persecution is already coming back upon you. You cannot escape your fate.

is John Durham busy collecting all this "evidence"?

Will he put it in the Benghazi or any of the other failed literal witch hunt files the GOP is always chasing and NEVER can prove anything in court with?


Funny that eh? The GOP screams 'witch hunt' constantly and yet the court convictions pile up as they are found guilty, time and again.

They scream about Dem crime and yet can NEVER get any convictions or even taken seriously.

Evidence does not require a court to exist.
 
Yup. We know the serious crimes that Trump has perpetrated,
but we'll get him for hush money to a porn star that none of us ever heard of prior to 2016.

Trump made $160 million in foreign business deals as president:

Former President Donald Trump made tens of millions of dollars in foreign business deals while he was in office, pointing to numerous potential conflicts of interest, a report from a nonprofit government watchdog reveals.

The report, released by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) on Thursday, examines Trump's tax records and financial data, finding that the Trump Organization made up to $160 million in international business deals while Trump was president.

Trump and his family assured the American people during his campaign that he wouldn't be influenced by his company's international business dealings as president — but he refused to financially divest from the Trump Organization while in office, the report pointed out. Though he handed over management of the business to his adult sons, Trump claimed only that they wouldn't engage in any new business contracts, failing to address deals the company made before he became president.

But Trump and his family couldn't even stick to that standard. "When it came to foreign conflicts of interest, Trump and his company pledged to pause foreign business. They
did not," CREW wrote in its report.

The report provided several examples of Trump prioritizing his own financial interests as president.

During his presidential campaign in 2015, for example, Trump told his followers that he liked the Saudi Royal Family "very much" due to their business deals with the Trump Organization, which he continued to benefit from after taking office. Later, when Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered in accordance with orders from the Saudi government, Trump defended the royal family, publicly questioning U.S. intelligence reports that contradicted his stance, CREW said in its report.

CREW also noted Trump's withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria, an action that benefited neighboring Turkey, where the Trump Organization did business. In another instance, the former president held off on enacting tariffs on Argentina until he received approval for trademarks for his company, the watchdog pointed out.

The Trump organization also broke its promise not to sign on to new international business deals. A post-presidential analysis from The Washington Post found that the Trump Organization worked with the Indonesian government to create transportation access to a residence and hotel estate he owned in the country. The company also made a deal while Trump was president to build more than 500 houses in Scotland.
