WATCH: Dem Rep would force Trump to split from his businesses

President-elect Donald Trump’s intention to separate himself from his companies is not good enough to avoid conflicts of interest, according to a Democratic lawmaker whose bill would require the billionaire to make the break official.

{mosads}Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark’s “Presidential Accountability Act” would hold the president and vice president to the same standards as other executive officials with business holdings.

“(Trump) has to be out of it, and I think the best way for him to do that is to meet the definition of a qualified blind trust where there is a third party that is not related to him making those decisions while he is president.” Clark explained in an interview with The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper.

Watch the video above to hear Clark explain how her measure, H.R. 6340, would work.
