With Re-Election Fundraiser Set For This Week, Revisiting Trump Financial Ties

This week, President Trump will combine his three roles — president, businessman and politician — into one event at the Trump Hotel in Washington.

NPR’s Marilyn Geewax (@geewaxnpr) joins Here & Now‘s Robin Young to discuss the president’s financial ties.
