Trump Averages 2.5 Conflicts of Interest Each Day, Says Ethics Group Study
Calling President Donald Trump's tenure in the White House an "ethical disaster," watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a report Friday listing over 3,000 conflicts of interest between Trump's business dealings and his presidency. That averages out to approximately 2.5 conflicts of interest per day.
CREW's report lists how many times foreign officials have visited properties owned by Trump, how many political events were hosted at Trump-owned properties and how many times Trump has visited one of his own golf courses.
"President Trump's time in office has been an ethical disaster," the report reads. "While previous administrations have taken every precaution to avoid the appearance that the president's official actions could be tainted by their private business interests, President Trump has instead done the exact opposite, blatantly and regularly using his office for his own financial gain."
"Three-thousand conflicts of interest later," the report continues, "President Trump has sent a clear message to special interests, foreign governments, and others trying to influence the federal government that his presidency is effectively for sale."
