Why Donald Trump's Business Dealings Matter

From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

You can add another example to the list of actions that President-elect Trump has taken that mixes his business interests with his new office.

Soon after the publication of that article last night, Trump suggested that the conversation with Farage wasn't a big deal. "Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world. Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!" he tweeted.
