Sen. Chris Murphy expressed concern during a hearing that President Trump's financial ties to foreign governments compromise U.S. diplomacy, citing millions funneled to Trump properties from Middle Eastern interests.
Murphy highlighted that Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, received a questionable $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia, raising flags about potential foreign influence over American policy.
The senator criticized Trump's organization for openly pursuing new business deals that could conflict with U.S. foreign policy, stating this unprecedented situation undermines the integrity of government diplomacy.
Murphy argued that Trump's financial entanglements with foreign governments pose a unique challenge, as they directly contradict the traditional practice of establishing blind trusts or divestment.
