A Washington restaurant has sued U.S. President Donald Trump and the company that operates his landmark Washington hotel, claiming that patrons have shifted business there to curry favor with his new administration, the owners said on Thursday.
The suit, which was filed on Wednesday, does not seek monetary damages but wants Trump to divest from the hotel, resign or close it while he is president.
Diane Gross and Khalid Pitts, the husband-and-wife owners of the Cork Wine Bar, claim they and other businesses face unfair competition from the Trump International Hotel, which opened in September a few weeks before Trump was elected.
Their suit alleges Trump’s ownership of the hotel, located a few blocks from the White House in the historic Old Post Office building owned by the federal government, violates a rule that bars elected officials from being party to the lease or benefiting from it.
“We simply want to level the playing field so that all District of Columbia restaurants can compete fairly,” Pitts said at a news conference.[…]
Pitts and Gross said business had fallen off at their restaurant, located about a mile from the hotel, since Trump took office. They cited media reports that foreign dignitaries have “flocked” to the hotel and said many people had increased their use of the hotel and its restaurants to gain political favor.
They could not provide numbers or point to any specific client they had lost but said the hotel’s increased business has occurred “to the detriment of Cork.”
