Dammit. I knew that (the Z, not the Phillip).

Hey Andrew, I had a clarification question about something said in the last OA episode. You mentioned that although Trump might not be subject to conflict of interest laws as President he might be subject to those laws as the owner of his company. It is my understanding that the Trump organization is a privately held organization. Would anyone have standing to bring a shareholders derivative lawsuit in that case? Are those types of suits only available when a company is publicly traded?

Great question, and one which I summarized a bit lightly. Although I was discussing rules from the standpoint of a publicly-held company, any shareholder may bring a derivative lawsuit, including shareholders of a closely-held (private) corporation. That being said, on a practical basis, if the only Trump organization shareholders are Trump family members, there may be no actual risk. I don't know who all owns shares in the Trump organization, though; there might be long-standing executives with an ownership interest.
