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.

Hey lizzie. Back to the teepee and fix me a samich.
Smoke-um too much crazy weed. Take-um pipe!
I would like to know what college would pay Indian lady Warren 400k per year for teaching?
She’s out for scalps. And wampum.
Yes, it’s crazy, but this is how they plan to hamstring Trump. Load him and his administration with lawsuits, investigations, filings of complaints, you name it. Their hope is that he will become so distracted that he won’t be able to govern and keep his promises, and then...they’ll screech how he lied to get elected and how ne hever intended to keep his campaign promises.
“Hey lizzie”...
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”.
Hey Warren. Go **() yourself!
Truly, these dastardly recreants are mentally-challenged nitwits. These malignancies-on-society should be exiled for the good of the USA. What rapscallions. What cullions. I laugh at their continuous lunacy in pursuit of idiocy. Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Re #6:
Exactly right.
The same old shtick. They NEVER learn.
WHAT chaotic transition? The only thing that is chaotic are the demodummies screaming, crying, burning and doing everything the can to steal this election. Damn cry babies!
Its time to prepare for war, us against them.
nothing else to add
Purge Massachuttes
The state is detrimental to the Republic
Or Sen. Lieawatha
if the dems continue to read this election wrong and lurch further left it will be simply delicious
Hillarious to see Democrats tantruming about “conflict of interest” after blindly following Hillary Criminal off the cliff.
They’re Palinizing Trump.
What chaotic transition?
Certain Dems, and they know who they are, are not friends of Western Civilization. They are mortal political enemies, and should always be treated as such. You do not compromise with these people... YOU DESTROY THEM.
