Eric Trump has announced his intention to file a lawsuit against MS NOW, and its host, Jen Psaki, following a recent monologue that scrutinized his presence on a trip to China with his father, President Donald Trump. Per The Hill, Psaki used her show, The Briefing with Jen Psaki, to discuss whether his business interests create a conflict of interest when he accompanies Trump on diplomatic trips.
Psaki specifically referred to a Financial Times report about a fintech firm, ALT5 Sigma, which is reportedly exploring a deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer. Worryingly, this company has been flagged by Congress for its connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Psaki pointed out that Eric doesn’t hold a role in the federal government and is supposed to be ‘firewalled’ when it comes to the family business. So, his presence in China raises questions.
