Painter: If Trump Keeps His Business Empire He Will Be Hit with a Lot of Frivolous Law Suits

‘I think if he doesn’t sell this business empire, there is going to be nothing but litigation for the next four years’

CAMEROTA: "Yes."
PAINTER: "-- that the president could be sued in his personal capacity and he's going to have to deal with that going forward. And I think if he doesn't sell this business empire there's going to be nothing but litigation for the next four years, and we went through that with Bill Clinton and we don't need to have that again."
