NYC officials investigating use of Trump Tower for campaign events

Source: CNN

The New York City Department of Buildings confirmed Wednesday that it is investigating the use of the Trump Tower atrium for campaign events, which may violate an agreement Donald Trump made to keep parts the building open to the public when he built the landmark.

Department spokesman Joe Soldevere told CNN that the "Department of Building's enforcement unit is investigating whether the atrium was improperly closed to the public."

Soldevere said the probe was sparked by Tuesday's press conference at Trump Tower. Reuters first reported the investigation by the Department of Buildings.

A message left with the Trump campaign was not immediately returned on Wednesday.

I like what de Blasio's spokesman Austin Finan said,

"Despite what he may think, the rules and laws of this city apply to everybody, including Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump should honor his agreement with the city to keep the space open to the public."

Yeah Trump should honor his agreements, but his agreements aren't worth the toilet paper they're printed on.
