Clinton raises questions about Trump Organization ties following Newsweek report
Hillary Clinton has some questions about the Trump Organization following a Newsweek story headlined “How the Trump Organization’s Foreign Business Ties Could Upend U.S. National Security.”
The Newsweek story by Kurt Eichenwald raised questions about Trump’s business relationships and his foreign policy.
“A close examination by Newsweek of the Trump Organization, including confidential interviews with business executives and some of its international partners, reveals an enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and even criminals, although there is no evidence the Trump Organization has engaged in any illegal activities. It also reveals a web of contractual entanglements that could not be just canceled. If Trump moves into the White House and his family continues to receive any benefit from the company, during or even after his presidency, almost every foreign policy decision he makes will raise serious conflicts of interest and ethical quagmires.”
The Clinton campaign jumped on the report and added 20 of its own questions.
Clinton has faced questions of her own over her family's charity, particularly while she was secretary of State.
