- July, 2015: Donald Trump sued celebrity chef Jose Andres for canceling his lease in Trump’s D.C. hotel after Trump launched a political campaign with racist attacks on Mexican immigrants. “Donald Trump made good on threats to sue celebrity chef José Andrés, after the Washington-based toque backed out of a deal to open the flagship restaurant in Trump's D.C. luxury hotel, slapping him with a $10 million breach-of-contract lawsuit. Earlier this month, Andrés scrapped plans to open an eatery next year in Trump's $200 million redevelopment of the historic Old Post Office Pavilion after the hotelier/GOP candidate made controversial comments about illegal Mexican immigrants. At the time, Trump's son, Eric Trump, suggested that the chef could expect to hear from their lawyers. In the lawsuit, which was filed in D.C. federal district court, against Andrés's ThinkFoodGroup and an affiliate company, Topo Atrio LLC., Trump said Andrés broke his lease, and that the chef owes $10 million in damages that includes lost rent and the cost of finding a new tenant.” (Washington Post, July 31, 2015)
