\nWith former US President Donald Trump’s legal battles heating up, the public is wondering what he could do to his multiple businesses. Will he sell them? Will he continue to run them as if nothing is wrong? Some believe that there’s a third opinion not many have considered: Donald could end up giving his businesses to his wife Melania Trump, but here’s why that won’t be the case.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nRecently, New York Justice Arthur Engoron stripped Donald of control over some of his businesses amid the fraud investigations and canceled some of the business certificates the Trump family uses for their New York businesses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
