The Trump Organization is considering selling the lease rights to the luxury hotel it operates in Washington, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and one of President Donald Trump's sons, told the newspaper the company has hired real-estate firm JLL to market the Trump International Hotel.

The newspaper said one of the reasons the company is considering the sale is criticism that the Trump Organization is violating ethics laws by profiting from the hotel. "People are objecting to us making so much money on the hotel, and therefore we may be willing to sell," Eric Trump told the Journal. "Since we opened our doors, we have received tremendous interest in this hotel and as real-estate developers, we are always willing to explore our options," he added.
