Giuliani Advises Trump To Put His Businesses in Blind Trust 'For Good of the Country'

Rudy Giuliani, vice chair of Donald Trump's transition team, is advising the president-elect to put his businesses in a blind trust ahead of taking office "for the good of the country."

"For the good of the country, and the fact you don't want a question coming up every time there's a decision made, he should basically take himself out of it, and just be a passive participant in the sense that he has no decision-making, no involvement," Giuliani said on ABC's "This Week." "And those decisions get made separate from him, which is the way it's done for most cabinet offices."

Giuliani's remarks came as many observers note that the president-elect's business empire -- comprised of more than 500 companies around the globe, including more than 250 bearing his name -- make him potentially susceptible to significant conflicts of interest.
