Former President Donald Trump made more than $80 million from his businesses in Ireland and Scotland during his years in the White House, according to a report from the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
CREW's report stated that all the money was made "with extraordinary conflicts of interest, mixing Trumps personal financial interests with the national interests of the United States." The group claims that Trump made over a billion dollars in income while he was president, with up to $160 million of that money "coming from businesses in foreign countries with interest in U.S. foreign policy."
As CREW points out, Trump made the choice not to divest from his businesses while serving his term as president -- a choice that CREW says led to "four years of egregious conflicts of interest between his business and the government."
