Democrats call for review of Trump's transition
Two of US President-elect Donald Trump's most vocal congressional critics are asking the Government Accountability Office to conduct a wide-ranging review of what they're describing as his "chaotic" transition to the presidency.
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland want to know the potential impact of Trump's "refusal" to set up a traditional blind trust to prevent conflicts of interest. In a letter sent Wednesday to Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, they ask whether Trump has conducted Trump Organization business during the transition. They're also asking if any potential conflicts have affected policy positions.
Trump has not yet taken any formal steps to distance himself from his international business holdings as experts in both parties warn of potential conflicts of interest.
