Ethics chief: Trump plan ‘inadequate’
There is no blind trust, and no separation from family.
The director of the Office of Government Ethics is taking President-elect Donald Trump to task over his announced plan to separate himself from his vast business empire, saying the steps laid out today “cannot achieve” the goal of removing conflicts of interest.

“We can’t risk creating the perception that government leaders would use their official positions for profit,” OGE Director Walter Shaub said at the Brookings Institution Wednesday. “That’s why I was glad in November when the president-elect tweeted that he wanted to, as he put it, ‘in no way have a conflict of interest’ with his businesses. Unfortunately, his current plan cannot achieve that goal.”
