The Trump Organization has revealed a new ethics plan aimed at limiting President-elect Donald Trump’s involvement in business decisions while he is in the White House. The plan includes withholding detailed financial information from Trump, placing his investments in a trust managed by his children and outside financial institutions, and pledging not to engage in new substantial transactions with foreign governments. The organization will continue to donate profits from foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury and offer discounted rates to government agencies using its properties. Eric Trump expressed the company’s commitment to exceeding legal and ethical obligations during his father’s presidency. Additionally, the appointment of attorney William Burck as an outside ethics advisor was announced. Burck, from the law firm Quinn Emanuel LLP, expressed his privilege to work with the Trump Organization during this significant chapter in its history. The new ethics policies have been reported by The Wall Street Journal.
