The Spin
Democratic narrative
Warren's concerns are fully justified. The first Trump admin. was plagued with corruption and conflicts of interest, and his next administration is already on the same path even before taking office, as the transition team has yet to sign the ethics safeguards to avoid such issues.
Republican narrative
Democrats are desperately sounding alarms on alleged missed deadlines to sign the ethics agreement as if it were a potential threat to national security. Trump's transition team is currently focused on planning and securing his new administration, and will sign the ethics pledge once this much bigger priority is completed.
