Donald Trump leaves the New York Times (Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images)Donald Trump said lots (and lots) of eyebrow-raising things during his sitdown with the New York Times on Tuesday. Trump on his businesses/conflict q's: "The law's totally on my side, the president can't have a conflict of interest." (Peter Stevenson/The Washington Post)No matter where Trump got the idea, it's a very dangerous one for any president to hold: That you (or anyone) is effectively above the law. But before we get to all of the implications that spring from that idea, let's examine the notion of presidential conflicts of interest. So, legally speaking, Trump (and Giuliani and Judge Dredd) are on generally solid ground when it comes to conflict of interest laws.
