Cardin: Trump’s Putting the Country at Risk with the Way He Manages His Wealth

‘I think Mr.Trump should follow the precedent of every former president’

EXCERPT:

CARDIN: "Well I've been cautioning about this. I think that Mr. Trump should have followed the precedent of every other formal president; you know, divest of his potential conflicts or set up a blind trust. He didn't do that. So, there is a question because he has so many foreign interests as to whether he is getting favors. The countries are trying to give favors to his business enterprises in order to curry favor with the Trump administration. You've already seen some statements made by foreign leaders about using the Trump hotel. So I think that is very troublesome and the Constitution is pretty clear that you cannot accept any gifts from foreign governments. So, yes, I do think he's putting himself and our country at risk by the way that he is managing his personal wealth."
