Or, in the case of more than 70 executives, lobbyists and trade group officials, some not-so-potential conflicts of interest. According to an investigation by USA Today, there are at least 50 executives with companies that work with the federal government who are members of one of Trump’s golf clubs in Florida, New Jersey and/or Virginia.
