The Mayflower Hotel is no stranger to political scandals.
This week, the hotel, which is know as Washington’s “second best address” after the White House, returned to the spotlight as Attorney General Jeff Sessions testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.
Sessions was questioned about an event at the Mayflower in April of 2016 where President Trump gave a pro-Russia speech. Sessions denied reports that he had a private meeting at the hotel with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
This isn’t the first time the Mayflower has found itself at the center of a political scandal.
