Government Executive reports that once Donald Trump assumes the presidency, he will be in violation of the leasing agreement he signed for his new $212 million Pennsylvania Ave. hotel in Washington D.C.
The 60-year, $180 million leasing agreement clearly states: “No elected official of the Government of the United States … shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom… This policy is intended to avoid any conflict of interest that might arise between the employees’ interests and their Government duties, and to avoid the appearance of favoritism or preferential treatment by the Government toward its employees.”
