"A federal judge ruled that President Trump's fame and political status gives his hotel "unseemly"—but not illegal—help in courting political figures and dismissed Cork's civil suit alleging the hotel was unfairly attracting customers by hosting foreign dignitaries and through Trump's personal appearances; the hotel also houses BLT Prime steakhouse. Trump resigned from the Trump Organization while in office and put his adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, in charge, and after the ruling Eric Trump issued a statement calling Cork's suit "nothing more than a politically motivated attack." - Gabe Hiatt
