Trump's company is not agreeing to a blanket stop on new foreign business transactions.

Donald Trump’s controversial family business was dogged by ethics questions during his first term. Those questions are multiplying now.

President-elect Donald Trump's company is in negotiations to repurchase the lease on a hotel in Washington D.C. it used to own, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The 78-year-old president-elect will appear via a video feed at the 9:30 a.m. hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court, where Justice Juan Merchan says he’ll give him the most lenient possible
