When Trump, Inc. first started reporting on Trump's three oldest children, we thought we'd be focusing on the overlap between the Trump administration and the Trump org. Two years later, turns out there's a much more basic conflict.
Don Jr. has power. He's the son of the president. Sometimes the president seems to listen to him (see Marie Yovanovitch). But, because Don Jr. doesn't work for the government, he doesn't have to follow the same ethics rules.

Hi! I’m Meg, a senior producer on Trump, Inc. I co-reported our story today about the Trumps lying to push their deals around the world. There’s something I want to flag:
The remarkable number of fees for Trump baked into one of his deals: Panama. features.propublica.org/trump-inc-podc…
Trump’s Panama agreement stipulated:
a $1m licensing fee
$2.2m for arranging financing
at least a 4% cut of unit sales
17.5% of hotel room fees, including the mini-bar, internet service, bathrobes
4% of hotel revenue for management

Making Trump, Inc., a podcast about the Trump WH and the Trump Organization, there are a few documents/tools that I find myself using again and again.
Like the transcript from the January 2017 press conference where Sheri Dillon laid out Trump's plan for separating his business from the WH. We keep the audio recording of it at hand, because we often call back to it. nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/…
