Democrats are accusing President Donald Trump of self-dealing as the White House pushes Senate Republicans to include nearly $1.8 billion to rebuild the FBI headquarters in downtown Washington as part of a new coronavirus aid package.

The Trump International Hotel could face competition if the FBI moves from the current site and another hotel is developed on the property. (AP Photo/J. David Ake)
