President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday said he’s planning to leave his business “in total” to focus on running the country.
“I will be holding a major news conference in New York City with my children on December 15 to discuss the fact that I will be leaving my … great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Mr. Trump tweeted Wednesday.
“While I am not mandated to … do this under the law, I feel it is visually important, as President, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses..” he tweeted.
“Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations. The Presidency is a far more important task!” he tweeted.
Mr. Trump has said in the past that his adult children could run the Trump Organization if he got elected.
