MSNBC: Trump Foundation Conflict of Interest Bombshell Coming in Newsweek Report

MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show"

Tuesday, 13 September 2016 10:52 PM EDT

Newsweek magazine is about to drop a bombshell investigative report on the Trump Organization, alleging it is an "enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and even criminals," MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported Tuesday night.

Maddow read a few excerpts from the report she said MSNBC had obtained exclusively ahead of the Wednesday release.

"A close examination of the Trump Organization by Newsweek of the Trump Organization, including confidential interview with business executives and some of its international partners, reveals an enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and even criminals, although there is no evidence the Trump Organization has engaged in any illegal activities," the magazine wrote, according to Maddow.

"It also reels a web of contractual entanglements that could not be just canceled," another excerpt read, she reported.

"If Trump moves into the White House and his family continues to receive any benefit from the company, during or even after his presidency, almost every foreign policy decision he makes will raise serious conflicts of interest and ethical quagmires."

Trump has been under increasing pressure about his shuttered Trump University – he's facing a number of lawsuits involving charges students were defrauded – and for his charitable Donald J. Trump Foundation.

On Tuesday night, New York's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman revealed his office is also involved in an inquiry of the Foundation.
