Pete Buttigieg: Trump Is ‘A Walking Conflict of Interest’

‘We don’t know whether Trump’s financial interest in Turkey contributed to the decision to betray American allies and values’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Other way around.
>> I want to ask you about Hunter Biden and before I do I want to make clear that President Trump and his allies are lying about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and obviously the conduct of President Trump to ask, push, whatever, foreign countries to investigate the Bidens has been deemed to be impeachable by Democrats in the house. That said, Bloomberg is reporting this morning that Hunter Biden is stepping down from the board of a Chinese company and promising to forego all foreign work if his father is elected president. Is that not a tacit acknowledge from Hunter Biden if not the Biden campaign there was at least an appearance of a conflict of interest issue here that was valid?
>> I think it demonstrates the difference in standards relative to the White House. Here you have Hunter Biden tenning — tenning down from a position, even though there is no accusation of wrongdoing, just to make sure there is not even the appearance of a conflict of interest. While in the White House the president of the United States is a walking conflict of interest. You have family members, you want to talk about family members. In the White House right now you have Ivanka Trump benefitting from patents from the Chinese who got the president’s son-in-law texting with Mohammed bin Salman, the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and his sons go around the world pretending that their father is the president of the United States has no impact on the international business dealings and we don’t know whether Trump’s financial interest in Turkey contributed to the decision to betray American allies and values and they want to talk about conflicts of interest. It is radically different standard and we cannot allow this president to change the subject. Especially with unfounded allegations.
