D.C. Attorney General sues Trump Inaugural Committee over $1 Million Booking at President's D.C. Hotel.
D.C. Attorney General, Karl A. Racine, Sued President Trump's Inaugural Committee and Business Wednesday, Alleging that the Committee Violated its Nonprofit Status by Spending more than $1 Million to Book a Ballroom at Trump's D.C. Hotel that its Staff knew was Overpriced and that it Barely Used.
During the Lead-Up to Trump's January 2017 Inauguration, the Committee Booked the Hotel Ballroom for $175,000 a day, plus more than $300,000 in Food and Beverage Costs, over the Objections of its Own Event Planner.
Hotel Management Emailed the Committee in November of 2016 saying an Eight-Day Package of Meeting Rooms, Food, and Drinks would Cost $3.6 Million, an Enormous Number even by the Standards of Luxury Hotels during the Inauguration.
Rick Gates, a Lobbyist and the Committee's Deputy Chairman, then emailed Ivanka Trump to say that Cost
seems quite high compared to other propertiesand said he worried it would generate Negative Publicity.
Ivanka Trump, then an Executive at her Father's Business, responded to say she had Directed the Hotel's General Manager to Speak with Gates directly.
