Former president Donald Trump has resigned from SAG-AFTRA, after the union announced last month that it would move to expel him for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
SAG-AFTRA announced on Jan. 19 that it would hold a hearing on whether to expel the former president.
In a statement responding to Trump’s resignation, the union said simply: “Thank you.”
Trump had been a member of the guild since 1989, and had appeared as himself in various productions, including “Home Alone 2.”
