president's role in all of this reigniting the long smouldering concerns about potential conflicts of interest for this billionaire president. jake? >> tom foreman, thanks so much. both sides point to the president's direct involvement in this plan. do you think this is a serious issue? >> we don't know yet. he is the president. he has a right to have a direct voice in where the fbi is located. i don't have a problem with that, but this conflict of interest will always hang over him. jimmy carter was a people farmer and put his peanut warehouse in a blind trust so that nobody could say people were buying peanuts from him to influence him. this guy owns a huge hotel right down the street. the problem is he should have divested himself of all of this. he should still. he is going to be tied in knots by discovery. god forbid there's somebody at the fbi that says the president in an e-mail -- the president wants to improve his real estate values so "x." that's the kind of thing that could come out with proper oversight from congress >> is this something that the white house takes seriously? obviously they have been dealing with questions about conflicts
