personal investments, and as my understanding, i watched clyde bernstein on pbs speaking about donald trump jr. back in 2008 trying to get wealthy people here to invest in russia. and of course that's what they do. but because, i guess -- i don't know if you can answer this for me, sir, but i heard mr. tillerson has been excused and does not have to show his tax returns along with, of course, donald trump, neither one of them. so i have a concern that both of them are entangled with utin and on the ol garths in -- the oligarts in russia and find it scary. guest: a lot of the democrats on the committee in the formation committee that will be having the hearings this wednesday did ask for him to submit his tax returns. that's actually not required, "not part of the normal practice. but a lot of the senators felt given his background in political affairs or diplomacy or even in public life he should take that extra step and submit the tax returns but he declined to do that and they don't anticipate he's going to comply with that request. that's kind of one thing with regard to the tax returns he'

donald trump's businesses, debts, trips to russia, what is going on with donald trump and his relationship to russia. that's the underlying story here. follow the money. i want to give you a quote from donald trump jr. in 2008. russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross section of a lot of our assets. we see a lot of money pouring in from russia, 2008. we need to know where donald trump's investments, debts, who he owes in russia, what his trips have been. this is the underlying story that we need to pursue. >> you're insinuating some conflict of interest between -- >> no question, conflict of interest. but if it's fine and above board and transparent, let donald trump tell us what his investments and debts are, what he has done in terms of his relationship with russian oligarchs. >> by denying the hacking happened, going against the intelligence, how much is he e isolating himself? >> i think not just isolating himself, think there's real terror on the part of members of the congress, of the senate of the united states, about what some of the underlying facts are here. and that is -- has inadvertently somehow donald trump gotten himself in some kind of situation, does he have debt? et cetera

me just to clarify this, to sort of explain this, if he hands over his business as expected to donald trump jrric trump, his sons, ivanka trump removes herself from her brand and the president-elect says i'm not going deal with it for four years, that doesn't satisfy you? >> it does not. it is a break with what presidents with far lesser conflicts have done for the past four decades. they go to a trustee, independent trustee, not a family member, they turn over ownership interests to be liquid dated, to be sold. donald trump has much more profound conflicts issue. it'll be a paw over everything he does. he's got to die vest. >> richard, i want to play something, president-elect trump said last week at mar-a-lago. i want to play this and i want to get your response on the other side. >> it's a much bigger business than anybody thought. it's a great business. but, i'm going to have nothing to do with it. i don't have to because as you know, i wouldn't have to do that by law. i want to do that because i want to focus on the country. it's actually a very simple situation. it's not a big deal. >> s
