Susan Rice Sounds The Alarm On How Donald Trumps Debts Could Risk U.S. Security

Former U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice  talked on Wednesday about the threat that could be posed to Americas security over the hundreds of millions of dollars that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump owes in civil trial damages.

Rice told MSNBC s Lawrence ODonnell that Trump owes some $500 million or more and is struggling to meet the bond in his $464 million fraud ruling, so you have to wonder where hes going to get that money from.

In the event that [Trump] has to take that money from an individual or an entity, whether domestic or international, that individual or entity will potentially have real influence over him, and so that is of concern if he returns to the White House, she added.

Rice also noted Trumps long history of foreign financial entanglements and warned, Theres just so many ways the stench of money from dubious places infuses his business enterprise, and so this would add more questions should that be the case going forward.

But the big picture is even beyond the foreign financial entanglements, Rice said, recalling Trumps frequent siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin, his praise of dictators and his threat to abandon Americas allies in the NATO military alliance.
