House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) says he isn’t concerned over Donald Trump’s potential conflicts of interest and is confident the president-elect will separate them from his business.
“I have every bit of confidence he’s going to get himself right with moving himself from the business guy that he is to the president he’s going to be,” Ryan on Wednesday told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Asked how Trump should address the conflicts of interest, Ryan responded, “However he wants to.”
“This is not what I’m concerned about in Congress. … I’m focused on getting this agenda passed so that we can turn around and tackle this country’s big problems before they tackle us. That is what I’m focused on and not the legal details of how he divorces himself from his business, which I know he will,” he added.

Also seems clear that Paul Ryan has little interest in performing his constitutional role and providing oversight. https://t.co/6ck5CoZGoH
