exactly what the wall that will be built between the president-elect and his businesses is going to be. the suggestion has been eric and donr. will run the businesses and there will be this wall. we know don jr. was involved in the interview process for secretary of the interior. a big out doorsman and that eric was in some of the meetings when it comes to secretary of state. that doesn't seem to be much of a separation. >> it really calls into question whether there will be a wall and how you construct such a wall when the trump family is also interconnected in this business. and does it really pass the plausibility test that he's not going to discuss his business with his children. let's assume they find some way to construct this wall. it does not take away the fundamental problem with conflict of interest, which is ownership. regardless of whether they have a wall and they discuss things or don't, the money is still going into trump's pocket. in particular -- there are domestic conflicts of interest and foreign conflicts of interest. the foreign conflicts of interest become problematic because you have diplomats openly

and now must stop. wrong answer. this after eric's foundation had sponsored coffee with ivanka or a hunting trip with eric or don jr. for donations and maybe a photo op with the president himself the day after the inauguration. so let's break this down really quickly. it's not that eric trump is not allowed to raise money for charity anymore. that's not what the questions were about. the questions are about pay for play. giving access to the white house. >> and it's a lesson that you would have thought the trumps would have learned from the experience of the clintons and the clinton foundation, and the letting people stay in the lincoln bedroom for donating millio of dollars. during that period of time. nobody liked that, and that was fully reviewed and fully vetted. now we have the trump children acting like that never happened. and it's okay to, as you say, raise money for access to the president of the united states or his children who are very close to the president of the united states. it's such an obvious nonstarter, they should have never done it. now they have learned, been admonished, and donald trump is tw

don and eric while manage them. no new deals will be done with my term or terms in office, either one the i will hold a press conference in the near future. cabinet picks an all other topics of interest. busy times with his trademark exclamation point, right? senior advisor kellyanne conway telling cnn they delayed the announcement because details of the business arrangement are legally complicated and they need more time. absent the list from the children and businesses is ivanka. perhaps leaving the door open to a role in the administration for her. we don't know. >> if you look what our colleague, congratulations to john roberts again puts in his points, trump turning business over. no new deals done you just said. that leaves ivanka free. eric and don can take over the country. she is brilliant. this woman, i said she will run the corporation. for now she is free to serve in government. she has platforms. she has things she can do to help, especially millenials. she has great appeal and great positives and great

businesses before january 20 so that i can focus full-time on the presidency pre-two of my children don and eric both executives will manage them. no new deals will be done during my term or terms in office. trump today also meeting with pastor darrell scott and joined by football legend jim brown and ray lewis to discuss a nonprofit dedicated to improving the plight of troubled inner-city youth. pastor scott and jim brown will join us here shortly to talk about that meeting and the prospects for improving the lives of all americans. trump today took time to sit down with former 2016 g.o.p. presidential rival rick santorum and then somewhat, something of a spectacle, trump escorting the recently hospitalized rapper kanye west to the trump tower lobby. trump tower reporters long time friends quote discusses life" might be joining me me to talk about trump's new nomination just to preview tonight's rally in milwaukee executive editor of "the weekly standard"'s fred lawrence. fred there is a surreal quality to it all sometimes if you watch that lobby of the trump tower. it may take on some connotat

two of my children, don and eric, plus executives will manage them. no new deals will be done during my term in office. one cannot unknow what one knows about one's business and that's a problem. donald trump did not tweet about what role his daughter ivanka trump will play either in his administration or in his businesses. people on the left and right have pointed out potential conflicts of interest could face the president and the government's ethics office have encouraged him to separate himself from the business. let's bring in our chief washington correspondent. that would require a blind trust and even if you did put everything in a blind trust, i mean divesting from all of his businesses and everything else, that's not something that can be easily done, is it? >> reporter: no, not at all. donald trump has made clear he has no interest in completely divesting himself from the business, but even if he decided today to do that that process would take well over a year. we would be well into his administration. at this point his lawyers and lawyers f

brochure or initial concepts that have not been approved or pursued by the trump family adding don jr. and ericny capacity. this revised final brochure obtained by nbc news removes any references to photo-ops or hunting excursions with the trump though don jr. and eric are listed as honorary co-chairs and a new look at james comey's decision to revive the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails in the final weeks of the race. on tuesday, the fbi's request for a search warrant related to hillary clinton's private e-mail server was unsealed showing investigators believe there was probable cause a laptop seized as part of its investigation into anthony weiner contained classified information. that turned out not to be the case. the heavily redacted documents contain few specifics. clinton's former spokesman blasted comey tweeting the documents show his intrusion on the election was unjustified. this as president-elect ramps up a new war of words with bill clinton after the 42nd president told a local new york paper he received a phone call from trump after the election describing trump as cor

instead the president elect tweeted two of his children, don and eric plus executives will manage them. and no new deals will be done while he's in office. i don't want to do deals. i want to focus on this. >> and cnn has confirmed that donald trump has tapped ryan zege to be his next interior secretary. and other auditions at trump tower in manhattan today. we understand karina pearson was there to pitch herself for press secretary, as well as other administration positions. >> audition i guess is the right word given what we're seeing in all the public discussion when you get your picture taken coming down that elevator. >>> could rex tillerson's nomination be stopped? this is a crucial position, perhaps the most. do the democrats have enough power to block tillerson's nomination or not? >> by themselves they don't. however if enough republicans defect and vote no, they could block the nomination. and all they need is three republicans to defect on the floor of the senate and then rex tillerson may not be the next secretary of state. already four republicans voicing some level of con

donald trump insisting that he'll leave his businesses before inauguration day and that his sons, don and eric take over but does that answer questions about potential conflicts of interest or raise even more? here to discuss, sally kohn, peter beinart, paris dennard and john phillips. john, i'll start with you, donald trump's sons, donald, jr., and eric, appear to be actively involved in the transition efforts. they have sat in on candidate meetings, vetting a candidate pick. trump has said he will have his sons manage his company. how are the boys still working on transition efforts, then? >> well, it's two separate entities, that i'll be running the company and i don't know why you're so convinced that donald is going to listen to his kids. i bark orders at my parents all the time, we still haven't built that guitar-shaped swimming pool i've been looking for. but every time you open up the newspaper it's someone else that's controlling donald trump. today in the "washington post" they said joe scarborough and mika brzezinski were controlling him. you read that he's a puppet of vladimir puti

and eric are listed as co-directors. trump transition says don and eric weren't aware they were being listed of this newly formed entity, their names will be removed. joining me is a professor of minnesota law school, republican strategy gist rick wilson, rick, i'll begin with you. what is notable about this to my is there are so many opportunities for sort of what you might call side hustles that are going to sprout up in the d.c. in the trump era. do you agree in. >> look, i this i the entire trump organization has become a side hustle now. i think you will see -- look this particular event, we don't know all the details yet. it certainly fits into this mosaic involvement with his brand, his companies, his business and his willingness to draw a bright ethical line how they will handle this, not only him as the president, the family as well. >> the family can eggs that people focus on, mr. painter, let me ask you this, i want to go back to the newt gingrich quote. the president is not -- the monuments clause presents problems, he's exempt from c

the brothers are named as managers of the non-profit, but a transition official tells nbc news don and eric were not aware they were listed as directors of this newly formed entity adding their names will be removed from the filing. >> that was haley jackson reporting. >>> what do companies like goldman sachs, exxonmobil and general dynamics have in common? they're a few of the names with board members joining president-elect trump's administration. >> reporter: donald trump's incoming administration has a common theme, a lot of business experience. many of his future leagues are on the boards of directors of u.s. companies. we took all the companies that his future employees are on the board of and put them into their own basket of stocks, we're calling it the trump cabinet index. it's up 14% since friday. beating the market gain of 6%. two-thirds of the stocks index are beating the market. some of trump's incoming team includes james mattis, gary cohn, wilbur ross, rex tillerson and elaine chao. none of these people are in the government yet and there are discussions about whether nominee

if he is mixing business and eric and don are supposed to be running the business and the presidency,ric and don appear to be selling access to their father. that is going to cause problems for democracy and donald trump. he is always going to be explaining and fighting off questions regarding the conflict of interest. >> they will seize on this and their election battle for the presidency in 2020. we will find out if that takes hold for them. thank you so much for joining me and happy holidays as well. here in new york, a federal court released the information the fbi used to look into hillary clinton's e-mail. you might remember this was a big controversy in the final weeks of the campaign. it's the application submitted to get e-mails on anthony wiener's computer. more on this. we have the documents in front of us. there is a lot of redacted stuff. i don't see anything here that said they had a right or a cause to get into anthony wiener's computer and to tell the public they were going back into this. >> the redacted part is odd and let's go with what's normal. police need probabl
