Democrats pressure Trump to divest from Washington hotel lease
Four House Democrats warn the General Services Administration that President-elect Trump would breach the 60 year Old Post Office lease for the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC if he does not divest all financial interests. The GSA said it is premature to conclude any breach and cited lease language barring elected officials from sharing in the lease or benefits. Trump has not yet detailed his own ownership role beyond pledges by his sons to run the organization and forgo new deals.
