Prof. Richard Painter Quoted by the Daily Beast About the Trump Family Profiting From the Presidency

Professor Richard Painter, S. Walter Richey Professor of Corporate Law, was quoted by the Daily Beast about Donald Trump’s efforts to enrich the Trump family through his presidency. Prof. Painter told CNN that Trump’s blurring of the presidency and his private interests has signaled that access and influence in Trump’s Washington come through the family business empire. He said, “This is just going to be the tip of the iceberg. And the message has been said all over the world that if you want to get along with the Trump administration, do business with the Trump family or with his golf courses or with his son.”
