“The attacks on our Capitol Hill killed a policeman, left four protesters dead, exposed lawmakers to Covid-19 and threatened the constitutional transfer of power,” the city said in a statement released on Wednesday morning. “They were a national abomination. We are looking at whether there are legal bases in light of these new circumstances to terminate concessions with the Trump Organization.”
Over the years, Cushman has managed several offices and retail properties for the Trump Organization, including New York’s Trump Tower, Trump Plaza, the Trump Building on 40 Wall Street and the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.
Trump and Blasio Mayor of New York City have long fought.
“Inciting an insurrection against the United States government is clearly criminal activity,” de Blasio told MSNBC on Wednesday. “New York City will have nothing more to do with the Trump Organization.”
The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the city’s action. But Eric Trump, a family business executive, gave a statement to ABC attacking the action and promising to fight it.
“Another example of the incompetence of the Mayor of Blasio and disrespect for the facts,” said the statement. “New York City has no legal right to terminate our contracts and if they decide to proceed, they owe the Trump Organization more than $ 30 million. This is nothing more than political discrimination and we plan to fight it vigorously ”.
