Washington (CNN) The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee issued a subpoena to the General Services Administration on Thursday for documents concerning the Trump International Hotel's lease of its building in downtown Washington, DC. GSA -- the agency which supervises the lease of the Old Post Office building to the Trump Organization -- has refused to fully comply with the committee's document requests, according to the committee. The committee is investigating President Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest and violation of the Constitution's emolument clause due to his real estate ties. Although Trump resigned from his companies before taking office, he transferred his assets into a trust that he can dissolve anytime he chooses. This arrangement allows him to benefit financially from those businesses, including the DC hotel.
