Amid reports that diplomats are staying at President-elect Donald Trump's newly opened hotel in Washington, D.C., to curry favor, commentators are warning of potential conflicts of interest over Trump's business empire, NBC News reports.
The impression that Trump could be mixing business with politics recalls his criticism of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, which he alleged gave access and special favors to donors.
Now, the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page is recommending that Trump liquidate his stake in his company to avoid any possible problems.
Soon-to-be Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said on Meet the Press that potential conflicts were being evaluated and that the White House Counsel's office would be involved with any decisions.
