Pentagon Interested in Leasing Space at Trump Tower: Spokesman

Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan boasts a full-time doorman, luxury amenities, private elevators and sweeping views of the New York City skyline.

And it could soon be home to a high-profile tenant: the Department of Defense.

A Pentagon spokesman said Wednesday that the department is interested in leasing a "limited" amount of space at the 68-story skyscraper where President Donald Trump resides when he's not in the White House.

"The space is necessary for the personnel and equipment who will support the POTUS at his residence in the building," Lt. Col. JB Brindle, a Pentagon spokesman, told NBC News. He said the Defense Department would work through "appropriate channels and in accordance with all applicable legal requirements" during the leasing process.
