It seems he's being sued in New York over the use of his New York hotels. Foreign agents & lobbyists are paying Trump to stay at his hotels and then do government business with him. (conflict of interest and emoluments)

Apparently there's a separate case in Washington DC where some of the DC hotels are suing Trump over his recent ownership of Washington DC Trump International Hotel. (It's the one pictured here.) He literally bought this building while he was campaigning for President, and he agreed that if he won he would divest himself of the ownership. Needless to say he hasn't divested anything. (unfair competition, conflict of interest and emoluments.)
