Three of President-elect Donald Trump’s children will run his Trump Organization during his time in office, the company said Friday.
“We are in the process of vetting various structures with the goal of the immediate transfer of management of The Trump Organization and its portfolio of businesses to Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump along with a team of highly skilled executives,” the New York-based company said in an e-mailed statement. “This is a top priority at the Organization and the structure that is ultimately selected will comply with all applicable rules and regulations.”
