The District of Columbia attorney general sued President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee and family business on Wednesday, alleging that the committee overpaid to use the Trump Organization’s hotel in the nation’s capital.

Trump’s inaugural committee, a nonprofit, “improperly wasted by grossly overpaying the Defendant Trump Entities for use of event space at the Trump Hotel for certain Inaugural events,” the court filing (pdf) from Attorney General Karl Racine stated.
