Comment Re:Whatever happened to using a blind trust? (Score 1) 81
The blind trust was always voluntary and only followed by ethical presidents. During his first term, Trump asked if he had to use a bind trust, was told no law requires it, and so he did not.
Federal law only requires that a president fully disclose their finances and real estate, but nothing requires the blind trust.
There should be a law requiring every President to use a blind trust, with penalties for communicating with the manager, but no Republicans will ever create such a law.
