President-elect Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he would dissolve the charity bearing his name, which has been embroiled in an ongoing controversy over potential conflicts of interest as he prepares to enter the Oval Office.
In a statement, Trump said that the Donald J. Trump Foundation has done "enormous good works over the years in contributing millions of dollars to countless worthy groups, including supporting veterans, law enforcement officers and children."
The foundation has been part of a wide ranging discussion about Trump's business and personal entanglements, which some experts have cited as being fraught with potential conflicts with his new role as commander in chief. In New York, the Trump Foundation has been under scrutiny, and was ordered in October by NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to stop raising funds.
The shuttering of the charity is part of the Trump family's political offensive before the president-elect is inaugurated next month. Left open is the question of how Trump will disentangle himself from his sprawling business empire—something Trump recently stated he would address in a press conference before postponing the event.
