The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s opulent hotel near the White House that drew lobbyists and diplomats seeking favor with the ex-president is being sold to a Miami investment group. That’s according to published reports citing anonymous sources. The reports say CGI Merchant Group has agreed to pay the Trump Organization $375 million for the rights to the 263-room hotel and rebrand it as a Waldorf Astoria. The deal is more than $100 million less that the Trump family reportedly tried to get for Pennsylvania Avenue business two years ago before the coronavirus pandemic.
