ETHICS/TRUMP BUSINESS/TRUMP FAMILY: “The Trump Organization is considering selling its luxury hotel in Washington, D.C., after years of scrutiny of alleged conflicts of interest and breaches of the Constitution since Donald Trump ascended to the White House…The Trump International Hotel Washington, which occupies a 120-year-old Romanesque structure formerly known as the Old Post Office Building, is one block from the National Mall and has served as an opulent rendezvous point for Republican politicos, administration officials and other allies of the White House. But the hotel’s influential guests and the president’s refusal to divest himself from his business properties has opened Trump up to accusations that he has broken federal law through his business — including violating the Constitution’s emoluments, or anticorruption, clauses.”
