Of course it was not a formal meeting.Trump meets Indian partners, despite vow to separate from business.
President-elect Donald Trump reportedly met this week at Trump Tower with three Indian business partners, raising fresh questions about a separation between the Trump's business and future work in the White House.
Trump’s children, who are part of his presidential transition team, also attended the meeting with Atul Chordia, Sagar Chordia and Kalpesh Mehta, according to India's Economic Times.
The business partners are building a Trump-branded luxury apartment complex south of Mumbai. A picture of Trump standing alongside the men while giving a thumbs up was posted on Twitter earlier this week.
The meeting comes as Trump vowed to hand off his business to his three adult children in a blind trust to avoid potential conflicts of interest while serving in the Oval Office.
A spokeswoman for Trump told The New York Times that the three Indian real estate executives flew from India to congratulate Trump.
“It was not a formal meeting of any kind,” said Breanna Butler, a Trump Organization spokeswoman.
I'm sure they just talked about grandkids and golf, like Bubba and Loretta Lynch did on the tarmac in Arizona.
And there was absolutely no mention of the luxury apartment complex they're building.
Just like Bubba never talked to Lynch about his wife's investigation.
So much for separating himself from his business.
