http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/elizabeth-warren-elijah-cummings-gao-review-trump-transition?utm_content=buffereba72&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=bufferSen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) have called for a review of President-elect Donald Trumps transition, citing what they said were possible conflicts of interest resulting from Trumps continued involvement in his business.
"Mr. Trump's apparent conflicts of interest raise questions about the use of taxpayer funds during the transition, and about the decisions made during the transition that will affect federal government policies under the Trump Administration," Warren and Cummings wrote in a letter dated Wednesday to the comptroller general of the Government Accountability Office.
The letter cites a report from Newsweeks Kurt Eichnenwald which found that the Trump Organization had deep connections in China, Brazil, Bulgaria, Argentina, Canada, France, Germany and other countries.

eventually concluding that Trump has more conflicts of interest than a porcupine has quills and the Republican congress will collapse in peals of laughter, after telling the GAO to politely kiss its ass.
