President Trump's trust is selling off his resort in the Caribbean. Ethics experts say that a buyer might offer a huge price to curry favor with the president, underscoring the conflict of interest.

President Trump's trust is selling off a Caribbean resort, which creates an ethical dilemma. On the one hand, ethics experts want Trump to divest. But when he sells, that opens an opportunity for a wealthy buyer to try to win his favor.

Jared Kushner's sister recently pitched a New Jersey project to investors in China. Such investors could get a crack at an immigration visa to the United States in exchange for $500,000.

The Office of Global Women's Issues deleted a retweet plugging Ivanka Trump's book. It is the second time the State Department has faced complaints about touting the first family's business interests.

Jared Kushner was a thriving real estate developer before his father-in-law ran for president. His expansive White House role has raised concerns that his business could influence his public duties.

As the president's 100th day in office approaches, he still is facing questions about garnering business profits from foreign sources.

After criticism from those who thought the page was an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, a State Department official said that the intention was to inform and that "we regret any misperception."

Ethics experts warned that if Trump didn't divest, he would be violating the constitutional ban on benefits from foreign governments. He hasn't divested and his sons are expanding global properties.

Ivanka Trump handed over her business operations and put her brand in a trust. Now, she has an office in the White House and sits in on meetings with world leaders while her company flourishes.

A Foreign Ministry spokesman suggests some media were "hyping certain gossip to hint at something undisclosed." A U.S. trademark lawyer says the process moved remarkably fast.

The addition of two plaintiffs may help bolster a suit alleging that President Trump is breaching the Constitution because his hotels and restaurants do business with foreign governments.

Investigators in Washington seeking links between Americans and Russia's election-meddling are searching for evidence of loans or sweetheart deals used to gain access or control over targets.

Moscow has an old playbook for entangling people it hopes to bring under its control. NPR takes a look at its tools, including loans and deals by people connected to the government.

On Friday, the White House made documents available on the finances of many Trump administration officials, including Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Stephen Bannon.

She already has an office in the West Wing. "I have been working closely ... with the White House Counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role," she said.

Ethics experts often criticize the Trump Organization for running a hotel just blocks from the White House. Now, the company might be looking to add a second hotel in the nation's capital.

The General Services Administration says while the contract bars elected officials, the Trump Organization may lease the Old Post Office because President Trump moved his businesses into a trust.

Ethics experts say Ivanka's dual role as a business owner and West Wing adviser raises concerns about nepotism and conflict of interest. Ivanka says she will comply voluntarily with ethics rules.

Ivanka Trump is getting an office in the White House and access to classified information, despite having no formal position in the administration. Ethics analysts are crying foul over this unprecedented move.

Holding the event at the Trump hotel could be seen as a way to "purchase access to the Trump administration by enriching President Trump and his family," says government ethics scholar Kathleen Clark.
