Why is no one pointing out Trump's conflict of interest on Russian hacking?

The media had no trouble talking about his monetary conflict of interest. OMG, he's got a hotel in Washington! What if people stay in it?!?!

But now we have a case where Trump can't admit America has a security vulnerability without admitting he was falsely elected by its exploitation. To protect himself, Trump has to lie and say America doesn't need to be protected. That's just what he is doing. He's disregarding America's security needs to cover his own ass.

That's a conflict of interest of epic proportions, but no one's asking him about it.
