The hotel chain said the decision was the result of last week's siege on the US Capitol by pro-Trump supporters.

Trump, 77, has been ordered by the judge to appear in the Manhattan court for the duration of the case, largely keeping him off the campaign trail for weeks as he challenges President Joe Biden for the White House in November's election.
