Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Thursday sparred with Ben Carson, President-elect Trump’s nominee to run the Department of Housing and Urban Development, over Trump’s business ties and whether Carson could guarantee that he would not direct any monies that could benefit the president-elect.

Warren asked Carson several times during a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing if he could assure her that no taxpayer dollars he spends secretary would benefit Trump or his family.
