Eric Danziger, a top executive for former President Trump’s hotel brand, has stepped down from his position with the company, The New York Times reported

In an email sent on Wednesday, Danziger wrote to colleagues that he leaving for a new position as a chief executive of Braintree Group, a company headquartered in Boise, Idaho, where his son is an employee. 

At Braintree, Danziger, 67, will oversee a broader array of businesses, including mid-scale hotels, residential properties, and charter schools, Braintree co-founder Jason Kotter said in a statement. Kotter said that Danziger “will bring a depth and breadth of executive prowess,” according to the Times.

Danziger also thanked the Trump family in his farewell email for always being “incredibly supportive,” writing “I will always cherish my time here.”

Danziger’s departure comes as the Trump Organization removes its branding from hotels in five different big-market locations due to lucrative deals being called off or canceled. A number of companies have ended business relationships with Trump amid the fallout of the Jan.6 insurrection at the Capitol. 

Trump is not actively considering a return to the White House and won the Conservative Political Action Committee straw poll as the favored GOP candidate for president last weekend.
