President Donald Trump's Washington, DC, hotel is asking the federal government to cut it some slack.

The Trump International Hotel is looking for delays on its monthly payments, according to a New York Times report.

The hotel — which sits in the renovated Old Post Office Building — is on a 60-year lease with the government and owes $268,000 per month in rent to the General Services Administration.

"Just treat us the same," Eric Trump, the president's son and an executive vice president at the Trump Organization, told The New York Times in a statement.

The president appoints the leader of the agency to which his hotel pays rent.

President Donald Trump's marquee property in the nation's capital was already in ethically murky territory before the coronavirus.

Now the Trump International Hotel is asking the federal government to cut it some slack with its six-figure rent payments.

Eric Trump, the president's son and an executive vice president for the Trump Organization, confirmed the request to The New York Times.

While the hospitality industry has been clobbered as the coronavirus keeps people from traveling, the younger Trump said the hotel was current on its $286,000-per-month rent to the General Services Administration but looking into a delay in monthly payments.

"Just treat us the same," Eric Trump told The Times in a statement. "Whatever that may be is fine."

The president appointed the General Services Administration's administrator, Emily Murphy — who has faced her own slate of controversies in the administration, including the rooftop sex scandal involving one of her employees who was permitted to drink alcohol at a company event — and she could be fired by him as well.

The hotel, which sits in the renovated Old Post Office Building, has already been the subject of much scrutiny over allegations that the president is profiting from the access the hotel provides to those looking to curry favor with his administration.

In the most recent stimulus package, the Trump Organization was specifically exempted by Congress from getting any taxpayer money.

The economic crisis stemming from the coronavirus is putting a significant financial strain on the president's businesses, The Times reported. The company is also in talks with Deutsche Bank — one of the last banks willing to extend the president credit after his casino failures and other blunders in the '90s — to delay payments on loans and other obligations, according to The Times.
