The federal landlord of Donald Trump’s Washington, DC, hotel says the luxury digs lost $1.1 million in its first two months, it was reported Monday.

House Democrats, who want the president to give up the lease on the Trump International Hotel, said they obtained figures from the General Services Administration showing it lost $334,000 in September and $825,000 in October, Politico reported.

Trump signed a 60-year lease in 2013, making the US government agency his landlord. The lease spells out that no “elected official” of the government “shall be admitted to any share or part of this lease.”

Trump has said he can’t violate the lease terms because it was signed before he was elected in November. He has also said he would turn over any profits to the Treasury Department.
