Trump Hotel Bans Media During Inauguration Week

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump's hotel in the nation's capital is off limits to media during Inauguration Week. Patricia Tang, director of sales and marketing for the Trump International in Washington, said Wednesday in a phone interview that media are banned from the hotel grounds through Sunday to protect the privacy of guests. The hotel opened in September after Trump won a lease from the federal government to renovate the Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue, a few blocks from the White House. Tang said she's confident the ban does not violate the hotel's lease with the government or the city's public accommodations laws. On Tuesday night, a protester suffered burns after trying to light himself on fire outside the hotel.Read more on NewsOK.com
