The Washington Post:
Arnold Punaro, a retired two-star Marine Corps general and member of the Pentagon’s Defense Business Board, said that with Mattis resigning from the General Dynamics board and divesting his stock in the company “it would be hard to make a case that there is a conflict” of interest. As defense secretary, Mattis will not have any continuing financial interest in General Dynamics, Punaro noted. Any question about Mattis’s connections to the company, he said, are “a perception issue at best.”
