Donald Trump sold all stockholdings in June, spokesman says
Trump had at least two brokerage accounts that held about 150 separate corporate stock and bond investments, including for companies such as Amazon, Apple, Boeing and Visa, The Wall Street Journal reported. But Trump's spokesman, Jason Miller, said those no longer represented a conflict of interest.
"The president-elect sold all of his stock back in June," he said during a phone call with reporters.
Trump last week said he plans to leave his business "in total" in order to focus on the presidency, though he is not "mandated under law" to do so. The president-elect has been questioned since winning the presidency over potential conflicts of interest with his expansive business empire. One of Trump's options is to put his assets into an independent blind trust but he will hold a press conference on Dec. 15 to announce his solution.
