Trump to Put His Businesses in a Blind Trust

Donald Trump is planning to put his business assets into a blind trust run by his oldest children. However, he does not plan to meet the legal definition of a blind trust due to the trust not being managed by an independent party and him possibly having his hand in some of the decision-making. If he were to set up a true blind trust, he would need to appoint an independent trustee and liquidate his assets. On the other hand, Trump will be required to disclose his assets under the Ethics in Government Act.
