Elijah Cummings wants probe into potential Trump conflicts of interest

The top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is calling for an investigation into President-elect Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Monday urged lawmakers to review Trump's "financial entanglements" before he assumes office on Jan. 20, 2017, to ensure there are no conflicts of interest between the Trump White House and the Trump Organization.

"We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe," Cummings wrote in a letter to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the committee's chairman.

"Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people," Cummings continued. "Mr. Trump's unprecedented secrecy and his extensive business dealings in foreign countries raise serious questions about how he intends to avoid conflicts of interest as president."

Of course I don't expect Chaffetz to do jack shit but it's important to keep this issue out there.
