An ethics watchdog welcomed President Donald Trump to Washington by lodging a formal complaint with the federal government.

Trump violated his lease for the Trump International Hotel in D.C. the second he was sworn in, according to the nonpartisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

The hotel is located in a renovated historic post office that Trump leases from the government -- and the paperwork explicitly forbids any elected government official from holding the lease or benefiting from it.

"The lease bans elected officials from benefiting to avoid conflicts of interest with their duties," CREW director Noah Bookbinder said in a statement.
