 The Waldorf Astoria in D.C. has a new date with the auction block. A month after the planned sale was called off, the auction is set for August the 5th. Property once run by the Trump Organization is owned by the federal government but has been under lease for operation. CGI Merchant Group holds the current lease. It defaulted on the $285 million loan earlier this year. The world's highest pile of trash is expected to take years to get rid of.
