Back in December the Democrats and a lot of NeverTrump GOPers decided that it was improper and/or illegal for Donald Trump to maintain an ownership stake in his DC hotel located in the Old Post Office building. This is about as petty as it gets but undeterred by scruple, the Democrats went as far as to manufacture a conversation with the deputy commissioner of the GSA in which he agreed with them. This whole thing has been a nothingburger since its inception. It would have taken a moderately sober real estate attorney about fifteen minutes to fix the LLC articles to make Trump completely compliant even had he been out of compliance.
