GSA Says Trump D.C. Hotel Lease Is Valid, Despite Ban On Elected Officials

President Trump got good news on Thursday from the federal agency that oversees the three-year-old lease on his five-star hotel in Washington, D.C.

The General Services Administration said in a letter that the Trump Organization is in "full compliance" with the lease on the luxury hotel that's located just blocks from the White House.

Many ethics and contract experts have called upon GSA to end the lease, noting that the contract language specifically says 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[.]"

What is the difference with Hillary & Bill making money from the Clinton Foundation? Both have been elected Officials. How specific is the language? Does it say presently elected officials and their Families or just elected Officials/ Also if Trump turned it over to his Family are they prohibited of making a living? What about Chelsey and the Clinton Foundation?

The fools would rather have the government lose money on the building than let the trump family continue leasing and not costing the government money. Typical democrats.

This past week will be remembered for Trump's train running off the tracks. And it probably can't be salvaged after the forthcoming wreck.
