D.C. Sues Trump's Inaugural Committee over $1M Rental of Trump Hotel Ballroom
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The District of Columbia is suing President Trump's inaugural committee
over its decision to spend $1 million to rent event space at Trump's own
hotel in Washington. District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine
says the cost was far above market value and aimed at enriching the
president's family during Trump's inauguration. The ballroom they
rented, they hardly used.
