President-elect Donald Trump will not hold a press conference Thursday to explain what he plans to do with his businesses to avoid conflict of interest, according to multiple media reports and confirmed by his transition team.
The announcement has been moved to January.
“With so many iconic properties and successful entities, moving the announcement to January, ensures the legal team has ample time to ensure the proper protocols are put in place so his sole focus will remain on the country and achieving his ambitious agenda,” Sean Spicer wrote in an email to The Washington Post.
Bloomberg first reported the delay.
Trump tweeted on Nov. 30 that he planned to hold a news conference in New York City on Dec. 15 to “discuss the fact that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country.”
