Action item for today:
Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings has asked the House Oversight Committee to “immediately begin conducting a review of President-elect Donald Trump’s financial arrangements” [because] “Mr. Trump’s unprecedented secrecy and his extensive business dealings in foreign countries raise serious questions about how he intends to avoid conflicts of interest as president.”
Call Congressman Jason Chaffetz, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Try either of these numbers: 202.225.5051 or 801.851.2500 (direct). You can also leave a message. The 202-225-5051 number is taking a tally as of 1:36PST on 11/21.
Sample Script: “Hello, I am a constituent calling to let the House Oversight Committee know that I support the request for a review of Donald Trump’s potential conflicts of interest. Donald Trump never released his tax returns and I am very worried about his potential conflicts, including ties with foreign governments. I urge Chairman Chaffetz to investigate Trump’s financial dealings, they could post a threat to our national security.” Or better yet, come up with your own wording.
