Obama, Trump spoke again after their initial meeting at the White House

The latter conversation was live-tweeted by politics reporter Maggie Haberman and recounted on the Times’ website, where readers could review snippets and limited amounts of annotation provided by Haberman and the other writers.

Trump’s statement “is only partially true”, said Scott Amey, general counsel for the Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group in Washington.

Donald Trump has dismissed claims that he might run in to trouble if there are conflicts between his business interests and his job as President.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence says Mr. Trump will “create the proper separation from their business enterprise during his duties as president o…”

Despite Trump’s lack of concern, a number of typically conservative-leaning outlets have called for him to wholeheartedly remove himself from his businesses. Unless it can be shown that a foreign government is passing funds through a particular company to Trump, “I don’t think the emoluments clause would be implicated – it’s extremely remote”, said Robert Kelner, chairman of the election and political law practice at Covington & Burling LLP.

They could publicly pressure Trump to produce a detailed accounting of all of his business empire’s interests.

Regarding some issues – the Clintons, climate change, the media – he sought to soothe tensions by speaking in warm generalities.

“In theory I could run my business perfectly and then run the country perfectly”.

Already, Trump is testing the boundaries of such laws.

“I told him I had nothing to do with it and I had nothing to do with it”, Christie said he told Trump.

At the trial, several witnesses, including some of the governor’s top advisers, testified that Christie knew of top staff’s involvement in the plot that prosecutors said was meant to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee by clogging the borough’s access to the bridge.

Trump’s business dealings, though, have raised several questions.

Instead, he was unapologetic about any financial windfall that might come his way by virtue of winning the presidency.

Trump also made reference to his new Trump International Hotel in Washington, which recently opened blocks from the White House. He said his brand is now “hotter”.

“I disavow and condemn them”. Still, he added, “I would like to do something”.

Notably missing from the actions were some of his most prominent campaign promises, such as building a wall along the U.S.

Trump is sticking by his adviser Steve Bannon, who is a symbol to many of how the alt-right has permeated the White House. Bannon is the former CEO of the news site Breitbart, a conservative news site accused of publishing anti-Semitic, misogynist and racist articles.

“Do you ask people how long they will play golf and do the transition?” she said, an implicit dig at Obama, whose rounds of golf are a frequent target of conservative criticism.

There are many Americans who applaud the leadership of President Barack Obama for thinking about country first in reaching out to President-elect Donald J. Trump to make sure the billionaire gets all the help necessary to make sure his presidency is a success.
