The idea that Trump’s potential conflicts should not be a partisan issue was stressed multiple times, but Rep. John Sarbanes argued that Republicans’ lack of attendance forced the conversation to have an air of partisanship…. “If Republicans want his administration to be successful, I’m going to assume that most of them do, then they should have an appetite for his addressing these conflicts of interest,” Sarbanes told BuzzFeed News after the forum. “I think the public is going to play a very important role here because as people begin to focus on these conflicts and start to process it… then they’re going to start to put pressure on the president and Republicans and they may realize, hey this is something that we’ve got to pay some real attention to.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
