        I think that means that NSA has valuable & possibly damning information on Trump that could be of value to other agencies.

        Do you understand what freedom of press means? Because it doesn't mean he's obligated to answer anyone's questions.

        As far as divesting, obviously what he's doing is in accordance with law. If it's still ethical concern, change laws.
