Senator Elizabeth Warren has accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of breaking federal law by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign required ethics agreements, stating, "Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law." Warren, who authored the legislation in question, emphasized, "I would know because I wrote the law." She highlighted that "incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement," describing the situation as "illegal corruption" and underscoring the importance of ethical standards during the presidential transition.
