New documents confirm that Donald Trump retains a direct tie to his business interests through a revocable trust overseen by one of his adult sons and a longtime executive of the Trump Organization. Trump can revoke the trust, which was amended three days before his inauguration, at any time. The Trump trust holds a liquor license for the hotel that opened last fall in the federally owned Old Post Office building. The president’s sons have already returned to the White House since Trump’s inauguration, attending an announcement by their father a nominee to the supreme court. “This legal concoction from President Trump’s lawyers does nothing to address his conflicts of interest or the breach of the lease for his hotel,” Cummings said in a statement.
