Administration finds funds to reopen landmark tower attached to Trump's luxury DC hotel despite shut

Administration finds funds to reopen landmark tower attached to Trump's luxury DC hotel despite shutdown –

The Trump administration has located funding to reopen the historic clock tower that tops the president's luxury hotel despite the government shutdown.

The public maintains access to the clock and bell tower of the Old Post Office despite the Trump Organization's 60-year lease with the government to run a hotel inside the historic building.

It continues to be an attraction for hotel guests and residents alike, and is normally open for free tours throughout the week.

But the tower was shuttered Dec. 22 at the beginning of the partial government shutdown due to a lapse in funding that shuttered National Parks across the country, which operates it.
