Elizabeth Warren calls for an investigation into Donald Trump’s global conflicts of interest

Donald Trump may be denying a conflict of interest between his sprawling private business and his job as president-elect, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren has some questions.

In a letter released today, cosigned by Rep. Elijah Cummings, the Massachusetts senator urged federal regulators to investigate if Trump was already using his public position for private gain.

We have already learned that Trump took a break from presidential transition meetings to meet with his private Indian business partners, that he reportedly asked in his first call with Argentina’s president about a business permit for a real estate deal (the claim was denied), and that his daughter sat in with meetings with the Japanese prime minister. (Ivanka Trump is supposed to be the head of the “blind trust” separating Donald Trump’s personal and private affairs.)
