'Extraordinary': Trump has generated 3,400 conflicts of interest since entering White House, report

Donald Trump has generated 3,400 conflicts of interest since entering the White House in 2017, according to a report by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) watchdog.

Some 400 of those conflicts have come since February, according to CREW, an organisation that monitors the influence of money in Capitol Hill, and has been keeping tabs on the Trump administration.

Mr Trump's business interests have repeatedly come under scrutiny since he entered office. Some critics have claimed the only reason he ran for the White House in the first place was to promote the Trump brand.

The CREW report came as New York state continued its investigation into the Trump organisation for improperly inflating the “value of Mr Trump's assets on financial statements in order to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits".

"...was to promote the Trump brand."

Not just critics. Allies said that, as well.
