Times reporters tweet news of Trump meeting as it happens

November 23 23:01 2016

Executives and anchors from the country’s five biggest television networks are meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower on Monday afternoon.

That comes after months of Trump nicknaming his Democratic rival “Crooked Hillary”, questioning whether the Clinton Foundation is a pay-for-play scheme and raging against the Justice Department for refusing to prosecute her for blending private and official business on her homebrew email server.

Journalists are trying to encourage Trump to hold an open news conference, which has been traditional for presidents-elect shortly after their victories.

Her meeting with Trump came after he sat down with former U.S. Sen. But since Trump never released his tax returns, it’s also impossible to know the true sources of income and what percentage of his wealth comes from his wide array of businesses. It was a short meeting. The Embassy of Argentina said, “The subject both leaders talked about was the institutional relationship, and they briefly mentioned the personal relationship they had for years”. Mr. Pence said of separating the Trump administration’s decisions from the interests of his business enterprise. If his kids’ names are simply put on Trump Tower’s title, he’s accomplished neither. He leases his name, and he gets paid for that.

The potential conflicts of interests are multiplied across the globe, he said.

Until last week few people in the US would have heard of Pune; fewer still could have told you where it is. This is Trump’s hotel.

The Republican president-elect added that he does not want to “energize” the groups, one of which garnered viral headlines this weekend with a gathering in Washington, where organizers and attendees evoked Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich with cries of “Heil Trump” and reprisals of the Nazi salute.

Trump Tower Mumbai is being built by another developer – the Lodha Group – while real estate firm IREO has inked a deal for a Trump-branded office building in the city of Gurgaon on the outskirts of the capital, New Delhi.

Trump’s promise to “drain” Washington of crony capitalists galvanized his supporters, many of whom fundamentally view the so-called revolving door on Capitol Hill as a poisonous portal.

Trump has suggested that he will let his adult children run the family businesses during his presidency, and there is nothing in the Constitution that prevents this arrangement.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has also asked for a review of Trump’s business operations, “to ensure that he does not have any actual or perceived conflicts of interest”. Trump: “I’m looking at it very closely”. And while he was on the phone, he allegedly asked the president of Argentina about some permitting issues at a project in Buenos Aires. A spokesperson for Argentina’s president likewise denounced the story, telling a BBC correspondent in Brazil, “It’s absolutely untrue“. But the three – plus Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner – were all named to the transition team’s executive committee.

As for further investigations of Clinton, Trump seemed to waver in a post-election interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes“. And it really – it at least creates the impression that the Trumps are sort of trading on the presidency to make money.

“You’re presuming that they are doing certain things that they should not be doing”, Conway said. “Setting out policies and how you are going to govern is the people’s business”.

While primary responsibility for the protection of the president, or president-elect, rests with the Secret Service, local law enforcement is charged with assisting them, particularly in controlling movements of the general public.
