“This week has shed more light into the various conflicts of interest that have plagued President-elect Donald Trump as he prepares to begin his new term of office. There’s no point in delaying, let’s dive right in.

A report came out that Trump’s close adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, met with a problematic Chinese investor in November.

Although Jared Kushner claims to be taking steps to divest himself from his real estate empire, The New York Times reported on Saturday that Kushner met with Wu Xiaohui, chairman of Anbang Insurance Group (which owns the Waldorf Astoria hotel, among other properties), shortly after his father-in-law’s election. The goal was to strike a joint venture to redevelop 666 Fifth Avenue, a keystone of Kushner’s real estate holdings. All of this occurred in spite of the worries of Obama administration officials who review foreign investments about potential national security risks.

Donald Trump met with another billionaire real estate developer — who co-owns two of his buildings.

Trump met on Friday with Steven Roth, a fellow real estate billionaire who co-owns two of Trump’s buildings. Roth is the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust and owns 70 percent of a Trump building in San Francisco and 70 percent of another Trump building on Sixth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. He was seen celebrating with Trump after the Republican won the New York primary in April and was later named as one of his campaign advisers.”*
