Priebus: Trump will comply with law in business dealings

Incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Sunday vowed that Donald Trump will avoid conflicts of interest with his business while serving as president. 

The president-elect had meetings with business partners at Trump Tower in the last week while also preparing to take office in January. 

But Priebus said Trump would comply with the law. 

“While it’s unique, it’s certainly complying with the law, and obviously we will comply with all of those laws, and we will have our White House counsel review all of these things,” Priebus said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” 

“I can assure the American people there won’t be any wrongdoing or any undue influence over decisionmaking.” 

“The truth of the matter is Donald Trump makes the decisions in this operation, and while there are meetings that are taking place, it’s Donald Trump that makes these decisions and nothing should be further from the truth,” he added. “I can assure you and everyone out there that all of these things will be followed, and they’ll be done properly.”
