David Fahrenthold: Because Trump’s Businesses Are Not Doing Well, He Could Be More Vulnerable to Foreign Influence

‘He could become more desperate for favors’

EXCERPT:

FAHRENTHOLD: “You’re right that that’s been a much more difficult task, because it’s unlike the charity, a lot of its assets and details are much better hidden. But we spend a lot of time on it now. What we know is that a lot of it is not doing very well. And we spend a lot of time trying to identify, on the logic that if his business does worse, he could become more desperate for favors or other people seeking to help him through his business, right? As bad as it sounds, you maybe would rather have a president getting rich off his business than a president losing money and needing help with his business.”
