An incoming White House adviser to Donald Trump runs a real-estate company that has allegedly hired white men to intimidate and physically attack African-Americans, according to multiple lawsuits.
Trump on Tuesday tapped Reed Cordish as assistant to the President for Intergovernmental and Technology Initiatives. Cordish is a partner at his family's Baltimore-based real estate business, Cordish Companies, and the founder of Entertainment Concepts Investors, a sister company that manages bars and restaurant across the country.
According to at least three lawsuits reviewed by the Daily News, employees at ECI have on Cordish's orders routinely discriminated against black guests at a shopping and entertainment center that the company owns in Kansas City, Missouri.
The so-called "Power and Light District" is a half-million square-foot mall complete with nightclubs, bars and shops. The location opened in 2007 after Cordish teamed up with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, a fellow real-estate developer who will also join the President-elect's administration as a White House adviser.
