Presidential Conflicts?

Practice Group Teleforum

“Suggestions that President-elect Donald Trump put his business holdings in a 'blind trust,' which would mean selling them to avoid potential conflicts of interest are unrealistic and unfair,” says David Rivkin, of Baker and Hostetler, in a recent Washington Post piece. University of Minnesota Law School Professor Richard Painter said, in a New York Times piece, that President-elect Trump’s announced plans to cure conflict-of-interest concerns are “not enough.”  Join us as these two legal scholars discuss their positions in greater detail.

Featuring:

• Professor Richard Painter, S. Walter Richey Professor of Corporate Law, University of Minnesota Law School
• Mr. David B. Rivkin Jr., Partner, BakerHostetler
