Trump and his transgressions, Virginia Heffernan with Jack Goldsmith and Bob Bauer

In our first episode, we explore some of President Trump's most brazen transgressions—the conflicts of interest, the self-dealing and those elusive tax returns. 

In the run up to his inauguration, Trump created a sort of original sin when it came to his conflicts of interest, proclaiming that he is above any conflict of interest norms and regulation. Throughout his presidency, Trump continued to challenge any transparency when it came to his personal dealings and conflicts while in office.

Virginia Heffernan explains how After Trump authors Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith propose reforming our laws and norms on a President's financial ties and activities while in office.
