Matthew Sanderson Interviewed on WNYC's "The Takeaway" Regarding Trump's Conflicts of Interest

To what degree are these conflicts from Trump and his cabinet already harming U.S. interests, and what are the consequences for a government that appears to be personally enriching themselves through public service? Matthew T. Sanderson, a lawyer and Republican who has worked on the presidential campaigns of Senators John McCain and Rand Paul, and Governor Rick Perry, weighs in.
