Donald Trump must divest in advance of his inauguration from his businesses that may pose a conflict of interest in order to avoid violating the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses, according to a letter sent today to the president-elect by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Should Trump fail to divest from his business portfolio, which has only grown since leaving office in 2021, he will face more, and more serious, conflicts than he did during his first term.
