In Episode 124 of CTIR, I discuss conflict of interest laws, specifically any that apply (or could) to the president of the United States. I also review the history of past presidential conflicts (or potential conflicts) of interest.

Critical Thinking is Required is a political and educational podcast for individuals with endless curiosity.

Thank you for listening to CTIR. If you enjoyed the show, please share it with your friends.
