The adviser sought to draw a contrast between Bloomberg and President

Trump, who has faced intense scrutiny for not releasing his tax returns and for
maintaining ownership of his business empire after entering office.

Trump announced before becoming president that he would put his business
holdings in a trust operated by his adult sons while he was in office.

"He will be 180 degrees away from where Donald Trump is on these issues
because Donald Trump is a walking financial conflict of interest," O'Brien said
of Bloomberg.

Bloomberg's Democratic opponents have hit the billionaire businessman in

recent days, going after him for bankrolling his campaign with his personal
fortune.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tied Bloomberg to Trump in a tweet on

Tuesday, calling the former New York City mayor an "egomaniac billionaire."
