House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) plays the GFY card on Trump's conflicts of interest

When it was pointed out that Trump has spoken about his business concerns with foreign leaders, and that foreign diplomats have suggested they’d stay in Trump hotels to curry favor, McCarthy professed ignorance.

“Is someone saying that’s happened?” McCarthy said. “Can (diplomats) not stay at the hotel?”

“I never think in Congress that you just pick, to go in the instance that you’re going after someone, and there’s not something there,” McCarthy said.





“Why don’t you give him a opportunity, when he’s just now appointed a legal counsel, to go through, put it in order and display that to the American people of what the structure is before we’re saying Trump needs to be investigated?” he asked.
