  • Thursday, July 9th.

  • Eric Lipton, welcome back to the show.

  • Thanks for having me.

  • So, Eric, ever since President Trump returned to office,

  • you have been trying to figure out just how much he and his family have made off of the presidency.

  • And we recently got kind of an answer to that question when he released this enormous 900-page financial disclosure,

  • which outlined what he made last year.

  • what was your initial reaction seeing that top-line number, $2.2 billion?
