Judge: Trump hotel boost from presidency does not break law

-

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that accused President Donald Trump of breaking a law on unfair competitio­n by using the presidency to attract customers to restaurant­s in his Washington hotel. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled Monday that the Cork Wine Bar might indeed be losing customers as lobbyists, fundraiser­s and others flock to the nearby Trump Internatio­nal Hotel, but that does not constitute unfair competitio­n under the law.
