Dear President-elect Trump:

The potential conflicts of interest between your huge business empire and your future job have been well documented. The possibility that corporate interests or foreign countries could try to bribe you, as president, in both large and small ways is substantial.

Consider this small example: Over the weekend, the chief executive of one of the largest companies in the nation — who was a Hillary Clinton supporter — told me he planned to have his staff stay at your new Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue as an “easy way” to ingratiate himself with your new administration.

As far as I have seen, so far you appear unfazed by the headlines about kleptocracy. “Prior to the election, it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world,” you wrote on Twitter. “Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!”

You have said that you have no plans to sell your companies or put them into a blind trust — which wouldn’t be effective anyway, since it’s impossible to blindly hold real estate assets that have your name affixed to them. In the meantime, there are reports that you may lease multiple floors of Trump Tower to the Secret Service for millions of dollars, which you would pocket.
