Over the weekend President Trump’s sons Eric and Don Jr. were in Dubai at the grand opening of the Trump International Golf Club there. His sons have taken over management of the Trump Organization, though Donald Trump still owns it — just one of many potential conflicts of interest raising flags among experts.

You can read more via the Trump Ethics Monitor.
