Less than a week after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president, news headlines published by CNN and other outlets claimed he still had not disclosed conflicts of interest and signed an ethics agreement that is required for the presidential transition.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) accused Trump and his transition team of “breaking the law” by refusing to sign the ethics agreement.

“Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement,” Warren wrote in a viral post on X on Nov. 11. “This is what illegal corruption looks like.”

Warren added that she “wrote the law” that includes this requirement.

Other viral posts on the social media platform also claim President-elect Trump is legally required to sign an ethics agreement.


Should Trump comply with the law he signed during his last term?
