Trump International hotel, currently a Waldorf Astoria, was, opponents say, a venue for influence peddling

Donald Trump’s property company is in negotiations to re-purchase his Washington hotel, which opponents say was a venue for illicit influence peddling during his first presidency.

The Trump International hotel, housed in the city’s old post office building a short walk from the White House, was sold in 2022 and is now the Waldorf Astoria.
