(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton today made the following statement regarding the announcement by President-Elect Donald J. Trump that he had officially handed “complete and total” control of his business empire to his sons, Don Jr and Eric, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest once he enters the White House:
While there is no off-the-shelf ethics plan for a matter as complex and unprecedented as this, Mr. Trump seems to be on the right track. As we said in our recent New York Times op-ed , it would be unfair to insist that Mr. Trump destroy his business to become president. This ethics plan follows many of Judicial Watch’s recommendations and reasonably addresses pressing concerns about separating Mr. Trump’s private business from the public’s business.
“I don’t think impeachment is a thing for people not in any kind of federal office.”
From your fingers to DJ's swamp patrol !
Thanks. Shout it from the rooftops.
I think President-elect (LOVE THAT!) Trump is making all the right moves.
The left can scream and holler, but I’m not seeing anything stick. Haven’t for, what? Over a YEAR now of DAILY attacks and smears?
Winning! :)
I think Trump did this for the right reasons but it also allows him clean hands to go after Hillary as Secretary of State for selling her position.
That “emolument” words came up in the attorney presentation.
I expect Trump will be using it against Hillary.
Right on, Diana!
He’s dealt with the over-the-top constant criticisms expertly and the way he handled that CNN jerk today at his presser was excellent.
