The Clinton Foundation was a frequent target of Republicans during last year’s election, and Buzzfeed News reports that the campaign was something that forced the foundation to shed donors and programs who would present conflicts of interest. Husband and former President Bill Clinton serves as the foundation’s chair and daughter Chelsea Clinton serves as vice chair.
After being elected, President Donald Trump chose to have his sons manage his businesses and foundation to help negate conflicts of interest, an arrangement that the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation has called inadequate.
During its namesake’s presidency, the Trump Organization has not slowed down, most recently signing a deal to construct a new housing project in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
