Trump: The Billionaire President

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Donald Trump says his sons will run his businesses during his presidency and that there will be "no new deals", but critics say these steps don't go far enough and are asking for more clarity. We hear from Norman Eisen, who was the chief White House ethics lawyer for the Obama administration, and Tim O'Brien, author of Trump Nation. Also former US presidential advisor Pippa Malmgren explains how other presidents have managed conflicts of interest and we have reports from India and Indonesia on the Trump empire's business dealings there. Plus, our regular technology commentator Jeremy Wagstaff on efforts to improve the experience of flying economy class.
