Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Elijah Cummings issued a request Wednesday for a federal agency to review President-elect Donald Trump’s transition to the White House amid reports of chaos and disarray.
In the letter to the Government Accountability Office, Warren and Cummings laid out a number of concerns regarding the transfer of power, including potential conflicts of interest related to President-elect Trump’s businesses and his family.
Up to $9.5 million has been allocated by Congress for the transition, the two Democrats wrote.
“Mr. Trump’s apparent conflicts of interest — and his behavior during the campaign and after his election — raise questions about the use of taxpayer funds during the transition,” they wrote.

On Tuesday, Trump told The New York Times he was not required to place boundaries between his business and his administration.
“The president can’t have a conflict of interest,” he said.
The letter to the GAO also pointed to other reports of diplomats being hosted by the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C., payments from the Secret Service due to Trump’s use of his own plane for transportation, and potential violations of national security protocol.
Warren and Cummings asked that that review begin “as quickly as possible.” Trump will be inaugurated Jan. 20.

Perhaps “loser pays” lawsuit reform will become a priority for the new administration.
So which federal agency wants to step up and be the first one in Trump’s cross-hairs on Jan. 20?
The only thing that is chaotic is the entire democRAT party.
And I’m loving it!
Maybe these losers can arrange to have PBS (while it exists) provide them with their own channel to spout their imbecilities.
The campaign is over over!
The election is over!
YOU LOST!
Go Away!
DEAL WITH IT!
POWER THROUGH IT!
WHINE AND "BE STRONGER" TOGETHER IN YOUR "SAFE PLACE" HISTORY DUMPSTER!
STOMP ON THE HILLERITE THUGS WHEREVER THEY POP UP!

Can you imagine the screeches of "racism" if anyone had complained about anything during Obama's transition into the WH?
Hey now. She’s a U.S. Senator. You have to address her with respect. I believe the correct form of address would be “Ms. Pocahontas”.
Now that the Man is on his way out, congressional democrats will re-discover oversight.
In this respect Donald Trump has more financial resources
than Palin to fight off these attacks.
Has she paid back the Indians for stealing their affirmative action dollars?
Pray America woke
I thought there are two “Ms” in “sammich...”
[WHAT chaotic transition?]
All about setting the narrative.

Thanks—that made my day.
Hey, Fauxcahontas; just shut up and lug all my crap all over hell-and- gone, set up my lodge, and cook my meals. I’ll seek my sexual satisfaction from that comely young vixen who camps down by the river, and you’ll say NOTHING about it! Hear?
>>I would like to know what college would pay Indian lady Warren 400k per year for teaching?
She’s a Tranzi Prog. They’re a bunch of Tranzi Progs. So, the answer is “most of them, if they can afford it”.
100% proof that liberal progressives are the most underhanded, duplicitous and hateful political brand in the world.
Ask a federal agency to review Trump's transition???
What is this demand that the federal government assist in a personal soviet-style attack on a still-private citizen???
Are Senator Pokeyourgauntass and Tovarisch Lewis some kind of commissar inquisitors? Do they want him shipped to the Gulag resulting from their false witness?
May heaven preserve Mr. Trump and us from totalitarian commie operatives such as these two leftists defiling our halls of government and attempting to use our governmental agencies as weapons to stifle "dissent".
Leni
DISMANTLE CFPB.
AMEN Leni!!!!
Am I allowed to say that?
I love how much pain Warren and Cummings are clearly feeling.
