November 29, 2016
President-elect Donald Trump would be in violation of the lease on his new Washington, D.C., hotel once he takes office in January because of language forbidding elected government officials from being party to the deal, according to a report published this week.
The contract language in the lease says that 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, according to the article in Government Executive.
The Trump International Hotel in D.C. was fashioned out of the Old Post Office building, and so the lease runs through the federal governments General Services Administration (GSA).
The article says the clause is intended to avoid conflicts of interest and is consistent with a prohibition on federal employees entering into such contracts.

(100,063 posts)1. When will conservatives get it? Donald Trump is an elitist!!
He is the textbook definition of what an elitist is! But no let's all get mad at the liberal elites! Well while you're getting mad at the liberal elites, the conservative elites are going to take away your rights and declare themselves above the law, which is exactly what Donald Trump and his cabinet of deplorables are going to do!

(37,364 posts)3. Conservatives are elitists.
They are fine with them. They are their base. The ideologues of the left deserve every bit of condemnation that comes their way. Ideological purity destroyed the right. Amazing how many rushed over the cliff on the left to repeat the nihilism of that venture. Chaos does not always give rise to desired order.
