During his confirmation hearing Thursday, Ben Carson repeatedly refused to guarantee that money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development would not go to benefit President-elect Donald Trump or his family. “I can assure you that the things that I do are driven by a sense of morals and values,” Carson responded. When Warren pressed him again, Carson again insisted on his own personal neutrality, instead of agreeing to avoid sending money to the president and his family. “The problem is that you can’t assure us that HUD money ― not of $10 varieties but of multimillion-dollar varieties ― will not end up in the president-elect’s pockets,” Warren responded. Trump owns a stake in a 46-building affordable housing development in Brooklyn overseen by HUD.
