Trump Is Suing Washington D.C. (Again)
Donald Trump is suing Washington D.C. and you probably won’t be shocked to learn why: to avoid paying taxes.
This is actually the second time that Trump – technically Trump Post Office LLC, an LLC owned by Trump and his children – has sued D.C. over the same incident. It all centers around the Trump International Hotel located in the Old Post Office Building – the hotel Trump mentioned repeatedly on the campaign trail as a sign of his business acumen.
Trump has long claimed that the District over-taxed the hotel.
Trump’s lawyers say that the this year’s $1.7 million tax bill was too high because for part of the year the hotel was still under construction. Also, the city claims that the lease for the property – which Trump Post Office LLC rents from the U.S. General Services Administration – is worth $91 million. The Trumps say it is only worth $28 million.
The first suit the LLC filed was tossed out last month.
