Donald Trump's business will continue to pursue deals in the United States, though not abroad, while he is president, and he will relinquish control of the company, according to a lawyer who worked with the Trump Organisation on the plan. Trump will put his business assets in a trust and take other steps to isolate himself from his company.
Opening his first news conference since the election, the US president-elect dismissed a dossier with allegations Russia has compromising material on him as a 'phony report' but acknowledged that Russia was behind the hacking of Democratic Party computers. Here are some of his significant quotes:
"I have no dealings with Russia, I have no deal that could happen with Russia, and I have no loans with Russia."
"If Putin likes Donald Trump, that's an asset!"
"Over the weekend, I was offered $2 billion to do a deal in Dubai with a very, very, very amazing man, a great, great developer from the Middle East. I didn't have to turn it down. But I have a no conflict-of-interest provision as president."
"There is a great spirit going on now. I'll be the greatest job-producer that God has ever created."
"You'll be very proud of what we are going to put forward. Obamacare is a complete and total disaster."
"The only ones that care about my tax returns are the reporters."
"I could actually run my business and run government at the same time. I don't like the way that looks, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to."

"I think it's a disgrace that information would be let out. I saw the information, I read the information outside of that meeting."

"It's all fake news, it's phony stuff, it didn't happen. It was gotten by opponents of ours."
