Donald Trump unfazed by his conflicts of interest

  • Video report by ITV News Washington Correspondent Robert Moore

Donald Trump is not an ordinary politician, but even he risks pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable as president-elect.

He has not held a press conference since his acceptance speech, and the only time he has been seen in public is when welcoming people to his properties in order to discuss potential cabinet positions.

He faces unprecedented accusations of conflicts of interest, following a meeting with Indian businessmen to discuss a project in India, while working on the transition phase.

There are now reports - which have been denied - that he asked the President of Argentina to speed up the granting of a building permit in Buenos Aires.

And Trump's daughter Ivanka, who is heavily involved in the business, has been seen at meetings with other heads of state.

President Obama warned Trump to not mix politics and business while serving in the White House, saying that he needed "strong White House counsel" which would "eliminate a lot of ambiguity".

Yet Trump appears to be immune to criticism - or at least unfazed by it.
