Donald Trump charged with water abuse

Illinois General Prosecutor has indicted Chicago's “Trump International Hotel & Tower” for breaking environmental laws.

The indictment says that the hotel receives about 15 million gallons [75 million L] a day for air conditioning and ventilation systems. /Top Channel
