WASHINGTON—A filing from Florida’s Department of State, entered Monday, shows Eric Trump is now president of Trump International Management and Donald Trump, Jr. is now president of Mar-a-Lago, following President Donald J. Trump’s resignation from his namesake businesses and more than 400 related entities, according to news reports.
President Trump’s resignation letter is dated Jan. 19, a day before he took the oath of office at the Capitol.
The businesses—Trump International Hotels Management LLC, DJT Holdings, Mar-a-Lago Club LLC and Trump International Golf Club LLC—are now helmed by Trump’s sons Eric or Don Trump, Jr. via records that were made public, according to NPR. President Trump still appears to be CEO of New York-based TIHM Member Corp., which manages the hotel management company, according to the Miami Herald.
Trump Organization spokeswoman Amanda Miller sent the Miami Herald a statement about the recent changes: “Consistent with the plan outlined at the January 11, 2017, press conference, on January 19, 2017, President Trump resigned from all positions of management and authority with The Trump Organization and its affiliates. President Trump also transferred title, management and authority of those companies to a trust, or subsidiaries thereof, collectively managed by his children, Don and Eric, and longtime executive and chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg.”
“An independent ethics adviser will be added to the management team to ensure business activities are beyond reproach,” said Sheri Dillon, Trump’s attorney and a tax adviser at Morgan Lewis.
“He has gone above and beyond in what he has done to make sure there are no conflicts,” said Sean Spicer, White House press secretary.
