organization to his adult sons don jr. and eric. both in one other executive who s not a relative. donald trump, the president-elect is resigning from leadership posts of all other trump entities. the trump organization will not make anymore foreign deals while he s in office. and all new domestic deals will require written apovl by an ethics advisor. the trump organization or the government. mr. trump also said that as recently as this weekend, he turned down a $2 billion deal in dubai. and we heard once again that no, we will not be seeing his tax returns any time soon. you know the only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters. you don t think the american public is concerned? i don t any so. i won. coming up next, we ve got the fist interview with the editor of buzzfeed news. the online outlet that s under fire from some corners. for publishing these unverified and salacious allegations about
family member like that from being in the white house chief of staff. if he was up for cabinet, it would be impossible. in this particular job, the law is going to bend in trump s favor. the ranking democrat on the house judiciary committee said he s asking the obama justice department to look into this, but what douglas brinkley is saying is right, at this point, it s not stopping donald trump from doing this, he can pick the team that he wants to have in there, and that includes his son in law. and if he wants to bring in the rest of the kids, that could become more of a problem because they said his sons don jr. and eric are going to run the companies, there are some questions about, if don jr. and eric are running the companies, can they sit in on official business, they ve done that during this transition, there are some separation issues they re going to have to work through. i think if you look at the

business deal. we ll have to see how it plays out. especially doing it over twitter. donald trump also taking to twitter on another subject this morning. it s amazing. i believe he s going to play golf with tiger woods today, but before he hits the links, he taps in on nuclear weapons and puts out a tweet about charitable fund-raising. that s a big focus because those sons don jr. and eric got themselvesa anin a little pr is, kerfuffle. they did. his sons charitable foundations came under the microscope this week after eric s foundation, which does a lot of work, including for kids with cancer, offered coffee with ivanka. they later said, look, we re not going to offer that because there were questions about whether or not that created a conflict of interest. let s look at donald trump s tweets about that. my wonderful son eric will no longer be allowed to raise money for children with cancer because of a possible conflict of interest with my presidency.
