Oh, look: we're about to start a trade war, and our Commerce Secretary is deeply enmeshed with hostile foreign powers (and lied about it) https://t.co/l4IganYA3c pic.twitter.com/oVIW3XnkTI

Ross is just another sleazy Trump appointee. The article on Forbes has lots of details.
In previous administrations, a revelation like this would've prompted a resignation. Not in this one. Instead, Wilbur Ross found a way to profit off an impending scandal, taking things to a new level of corruption. https://t.co/qaW7HKwPXr

"Ross’s self-dealing and conflicts of interest should be part of a larger mosaic, encompassing Trump’s blatant use of the presidency for economic gain."https://t.co/aM8exwM2lY

BREAKING: we @CREWcrew have filed a complaint calling for criminal and regulatory investigation of Wilbur Ross possible insider trading and other violations. We don't play around; our similar complaint against Trump resulted in a criminal referral to DOJ https://t.co/8UkZ641xwX
