Trump Org Is Considering Selling Trump International Hotel In DC

The Trump Organization is contemplating selling its International Trump Hotel in Washington, Eric Trump told the Wall Street Journal, amid longstanding criticism that hotel serves as an improper source of profit for the President.

A real estate firm has been hired to market the hotel, Eric Trump, who serves as executive vice president for the family business, told the Journal.

“People are objecting to us making so much money on the hotel, and therefore we may be willing to sell,” he told the Journal.

Trump Organization currently has a ground lease for the Old Post Office with the federal government’s General Services Administration.

According to the Journal, Trump Organization is hoping to sell the leasing rights for $500 million.

The hotel has prompted scores of ethical and legal questions for the President and his family.

Trump has been embroiled in several lawsuits accusing him violating the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, in part due to the way his business profits from foreign interests allegedly looking to curry favor with him by staying at the hotel. The hotel has been the go-to site for groups, domestic and foreign, to host events as they push agendas within the administration.

Trump has also been accused of blocking the relocation of the FBI headquarters, which is is now located down the street from his hotel, allegedly out of fear a hotel will be replace the headquarters at that the location and serve as competition for his business.

“As the only candidate who attended an HBCU, I know the importance that these spaces hold for young Black Americans,” said Harris. “Today, when it became clear Donald Trump would receive an award after decades of celebrating mass incarceration, pushing the death penalty for innocent Black Americans, rolling back police accountability measures and racist behavior that puts people’s lives at risk, and then learned all but ten Benedict students are excluded from participating, I cannot in good faith be complicit in papering over his record. Instead, I’ll host students from all campuses as well as the broader Columbia community to come and discuss this critical issue that I’ve worked on for my entire career.

“Donald Trump is a lawless President. Not only does he circumvent the laws of our country and the principles of our Constitution, but there is nothing in his career that is about justice, for justice, or in celebration of justice.”
