Under ethics rules for Congress, lawmakers are allowed to invest in just about anything, as long as they properly disclose their personal investments to the public. The purpose of the rules is to allow the public to determine whether a lawmaker has a conflict of interest. The rules don't prevent members of Congress from voting on legislation that may affect their personal finances.

Long story short, the press knows this, and is merely going down the "biggest liars in the world" path they have chosen for themselves.
Okay...so why don’t Kellyanne and/or the Donald just repeat this every time they are asked a stupid and silly question about Donald turning his business over to a blind trust?
The way the Dems are setting this up, anybody who is in private business will not be able to run for an elected office unless they give up their business.
Which is what putting it in a blind trust is about the same thing.
Then only those who “made” their riches as a public elected representative will be able to hold office.
Well that’s their plan, ain’t it?
Why don’t one of those Republican speaking heads SAY THIS?
Did you know in the state of Delaware if you call someone FAT they can get a restraining order against you?
Yeah, it’s called Humiliation and those stupid people we elected actually voted for this. And after a restraining order you must, by federal law, turn in your gun AND never are you offered legal council of any sort.
All for calling someone FAT!
THEY VOTED FOR THIS!
Tomorrow....pray for me.
The most dishonest people on the planet.
