Sen. Elizabeth Warren calls for Army nominee Michael Obadal to sell his stock in Anduril, a defense contractor

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for President Trump 's nominee for Under Secretary of the Army to sell his stock in a defense contractor that experts say would pose a clear conflict of interest.

Michael Obadal , Trump ’s pick for the second most powerful post at the Army , acknowledged held equity in Anduril Industries , where he has worked for two years .

Obadal said contrary to ethics norms, he will not divest his stock, which he valued at between $250,000 and $500,000 .

Donald Trump is a full-on authoritarian takeover of the U.S. government.

Court orders are being ignored.

MAGA loyalists have been put in charge of the military and federal law enforcement agencies.

News outlets that challenge Trump have been banished or put under investigation.

Yet far too many are still covering Trump ’s assault on democracy like politics as usual.
