Trump's DC hotel posing ethical concerns, as delegations book their stay (Fox News)

Larry Noble, general counsel with the Campaign Legal Center, cited this kind of scenario as a problem.

“They are saying that of course we'll stay at the Trump hotel. We're going to see the president and when we see the president, we want to say you have a wonderful hotel there,” he told Fox News. “So he's really profiting from this. It really creates real conflicts of interest.”

“I think this is a really dangerous area and I think he's going to see it,” Noble said. “Hopefully he's going to see it, and they're just going to divest.”
