A top campaign advisor says Michael Bloomberg would sell the financial data and media company that bears his name if elected U.S. president.

The field of Democrats vying to be the 2020 nominee is narrowing, and only one prominent Republican is challenging President Trump. Here are the candidates.

“Bottom line: It could be a costly mistake for any candidates to make firm commitments to establish qualified blind trusts without first having their attorneys meet with OGE’s director and legal staff,” Shaub tweeted. Bloomberg created his own company in 1981, after he was fired from the investment bank Salomon Brothers with a $10-million severance payment. His new venture created the Bloomberg Terminal, a dedicated computer with proprietary software that allowed Wall Street traders, buyers and sellers to see financial transaction data in real time. The terminal quickly became a must-have product around the financial world and has been used by entities including the World Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank.

Bloomberg then grew the business to include a financial news arm, which has morphed into a major news wire service. The outlet has faced criticism for allowing its reporters to cover the campaign but blocking them from reporting in-depth investigations into Bloomberg or his Democratic rivals. Newsroom leaders didn’t impose similar restrictions on reporting regarding Trump.

Bloomberg has also faced renewed scrutiny over lawsuits filed by women at his company alleging discrimination or hostile treatment. Bloomberg has said heBloomberg entered the presidential race in November and has been steadily climbing in national polls, buoyed by $400 million in

That's the funniest thing I'VE HEARD ALL WEEK. 😂😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮🤑🤑🤑🤑

Hed sell out his country if it would add to his 56 billion

We’ve heard that one before...

Trump promised many things, e.g., his taxes, but that was all a promise.

In exchange for cash or equity that he can later redeem for ownership? It matters folks.

he has no chance of winning. why are ou reporting on this? Even Joe Biden is beating him

really? he must did it before candidacy

Should NOT be optional or news: should be a requirement.

👍🏻

Isn't this basically what the other guy said?

Yes and kill off all the old people sick with cancer we know he already told yes

Would he take $1 in cash and a note for the difference?

He's full of crap. Trump said the same thing.

No he won’t

I’m sure his buddies will be the only buyers of his 50-60 billion dollar empire.

I would suck my own dick if I could

Bullshit. Also a promise by one of his advisors is only a promise of the advice an advisor would give. An advisor is not in a position to promise anything on behalf of a candidate.

Wow, very bold move indeed😂

Why should he? The current administration and Republicans have all stated that it is okay not to divest oneself of business ventures if you’re elected president. This is the new precedent for the President.

Trump, prospective buyer?

Bloomber and bummer, who will want your promises. Please go away

Lies...

Impressive

Give me my mother F🤬 ING VA DISABILITY WASHINGTON DC ❓ 🤺🏴‍☠️

I believe that like I believe he is sorry for the stop and frisk on black people..... I dont

of course he would, he can sell and not face capital gains taxes because he is going to 'serve' the goverment-same reason why hank paulson went to work for as treasury secretary.

SmartOne8927 Like Trump promised🙄

And what about all of his other businesses?

Trump said something similar. Bernie said he would release his medical records, now says he won’t. Sorry, I am not buying it.

Yeah, well, we've already got a rich New York City guy who makes a lot of promises.

Trump said the same thing 🙄

We’ve heard this one before
