In the wake of last week's violent insurrection on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, some businesses are cutting ties with the Trump Organization.
On January 6, the Capitol went into lockdown as thousands of Trump supporters descended upon the building, resulting in chaos, damage, and violence. At least five people have died.
In the wake of the riot, politicians - including the Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy - have spoken out about the responsibility that the president bears for inciting violence. Prominent business leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, also spoke out against the siege; Business Roundtable released a statement calling on the president to "put an end to the chaos."
Platforms including Twitter and Facebook moved to ban the president's accounts. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey broke his silence on the ban last night, saying it sets a "dangerous precedent."
In a historic vote on Wednesday, Trump became the first president ever to be impeached by congress twice. If he's convicted by the Senate (a move that requires a two-thirds majority), they could vote on whether to bar him from holding office again.
But some actions have gone beyond statements: Businesses and other entities are severing their financial connections to Trump and the Trump Organization.
In the wake of the insurrection and impeachment, some groups formerly affiliated with the Trump Organization are opting to sever ties. The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Here are all of the businesses and entities that have publicly split from the Trump Organization so far.
