One of President Donald Trump's family businesses is battling an effort to physically evict its team of executives from a luxury hotel in Panama where they manage operations. Police have been called repeatedly to keep the peace. Witnesses told The Associated Press they saw Trump's executives carrying files to a room for shredding. Representatives of the hotel owners' association formally sought to fire Trump's management team by hand-delivering termination notices to them at the Trump International Hotel and Tower. That's according to a Panamanian legal complaint filed by Orestes Fintiklis, who controls 202 of the property's 369 hotel units. Witnesses and the legal complaint say Trump's team improperly destroyed documents. The witnesses requested not to be identified over concerns they would be drawn into an expensive and protracted legal fight.
