Trump’s inaugural committee and his private business empire were hit with a lawsuit that alleges his hotel illegally received more than $1M from inauguration-related event space rentals that were grossly overpriced — and in some cases not even used

President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee and his private business empire were hit with a lawsuit Wednesday alleging that his luxury hotel in Washington illegally received more than $1 million from inauguration-related event space rentals that were grossly overpriced and in some cases not even used.

Another inaugural planner who would eventually join the White House staff as an adviser to first lady Melania Trump, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, also raised the issue directly with the president-elect and Ivanka Trump a few days later, the suit says. The lawsuit alleges that the president's daughter Ivanka Trump was warned in writing on at least two occasions that the hotel’s pricing demands could lead to charges of self-dealing against the incoming president. | Mark Wilson/Getty Images“The AG’s claims are false, intentionally misleading and riddled with inaccuracies,” the statement from Trump’s hotel group said.

“The crux of their argument is they should have gotten a bigger discount because there was a room block. There was none,” Garten said.
