This article is representative of the crap that the media was doing prior to the election. One sentence blows up the entire article:
Members of Congress must recuse themselves from government dealings touching on their own financial interests, according to strict regulations in the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, enacted after Watergate. Presidents, however, were made exempt from those rules on the belief they could further complicate the wide-ranging job.
So, bottom line - while nothing that is covered in the article actually rises to the level of a conflict of interest as defined by current law, WaPo put it out there anyway and packaged it like is was a problem for Trump.
