President-elect Trump tweeted
early November 30 “that legal documents are being crafted which take me
completely out of business operations.” Will this suffice to resolve
concerns about the potential conflicts of interest that could arise
during his presidency? While the answers of the anti- and pro-Trump
camps are predictable (a heated, vitriolic “no” and an equally heated,
vitriolic “yes” respectively) for others the answer will turn on two
issues:
1) What conduct they understand the conflict of interest rules prohibit, and
2) Whether they think Trump’s removing himself “completely” from his businesses is enough to prevent it.
