Donald J. Trump Jr. is now in control of the Trump International Hotel at the Old Post Office after the president of the United States stepped down as president of the company that runs the luxury hotel, WAMU reports.

The outlet obtained a filing from last week that names President Donald J. Trump’s eldest son as the head of the Trump Old Post Office LLC and Allen Weisselberg, the CFO of the Trump Organization, as its vice president/treasurer/secretary.

But just because Don Jr. is in charge of managing the business, it doesn’t necessarily follow that myriad conflicts of interests are solved. President Trump has not renounced his ownership stake and appears to continue to be enriched by the hotel even as his son manages it.

A government ethics watchdog recently filed a federal lawsuit against the president, claiming his such business interests mean that he is personally making money off foreign governments—a violation of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause.

While the hotel came in $2 million under revenue projections during its first two months of operations, that figure predates Trump’s election. Since then, the historic Pennsylvania Avenue property, which is owned by the federal government, has grown in popularity for foreign diplomats.

“Why wouldn’t I stay at his hotel blocks from the White House, so I can tell the new president, ‘I love your new hotel!’ Isn’t it rude to come to his city and say, ‘I am staying at your competitor?’” one diplomat told The Washington Post, days after the election.

In a letter to the General Services Administration, some House Democrats wrote that “the possibility that President Trump will profit from large increases in hotel revenues because he was elected President highlights the grave concerns we have raised for months about his conflicts of interest and potential violations of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.”

Trump’s attorneys argue that the Emoluments Clause doesn’t apply to fair-market transactions, according to the Post.

Democratic congressmen said before the inauguration that, in a briefing, GSA officials said the soon-to-be president would be in violation of the lease, which states that “No member or delegate to Congress, or elected official of the Government of the United States … shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz requested the GSA’s contract with Trump for the Old Post Office Pavilion last month. Trump scored a 60-year lease with the GSA back in 2012.

Ahead of a meeting with mysterious summons from the president, Chaffetz said today that he is “curious” about the deal, The Hill reported. “His being both the landlord and the tenant is something that we’re curious what the GSA’s opinion of that is,” the Utah congressman told reporters.

It is hardly the only issue that Trump’s business interests raise, and regular activities at the D.C. Trump Hotel exemplifies another.

Housekeepers and guest-room workers have voted to join a labor union, and the waitstaff is expected to follow within months. The president now has the power to appoint members of the National Labor Relations Board, which mediates labor and union disputes.
