WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has disbanded its advisory board created to help boost trophy hunting and relax federal rules for importing the heads and hides of African elephants, lions and rhinos.

An Interior Department official says in a Friday court filing that the two-year charter for the International Wildlife Conservation Council had expired and that there were no plans to renew it.

A 2018 investigation by The Associated Press showed the board created by then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was stuffed with big-game hunters, including some with direct ties to President Donald Trump and his family.
