Bernstein: Trump has a 'disdain for the truth' 01:24

Story highlights

"We have no idea what Trump's businesses, associations, loans are in greater Russia," he said


Washington (CNN)If legendary journalist Carl Bernstein could impart one message to the investigative reporters covering President Donald Trump, it would be: Follow the money.
"What we really need to look at right now are the conflicts of interest," Bernstein told David Axelrod on "The Axe Files," a podcast from the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN, remarking on the opacity of Trump's vast international business holdings.

One place to begin digging, Bernstein proposes, is around Trump's attempted dealings in Russia and the surrounding region. ..................

"There is an established record that (Trump's) success is based on a con and on treating people badly and suing people and not meeting his obligations that he agreed to," he said.
Bernstein also noted that the same Republican Party that assailed Democrat Hillary Clinton for alleged conflicts of interest is now turning a blind eye to Trump's potential exposure.

"If Hillary Clinton had been the President of the United States and had the conflicts of interest -- patent, obvious conflicts of interest -- that Donald Trump has, there would be already a congressional investigation and it would lead to something horrible," Bernstein maintained.

Indeed, it was reported this week that Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has 43 proposed agenda items for possible investigation in the new Congress -- but nothing involving Trump's business dealings. ...............
