New York Senator Chuck Schumer has denied a claim by President Donald Trump that it was the Senator who suggested renaming Penn Station in honor of the president in exchange for the lifting of a freeze on federal funds for a major infrastructure project.
Earlier this week, news reports citing "people close to the situation" began popping up, claiming that Trump told the Senate Minority Leader that he would agree to unfreeze $205 million in federal funds for a $16 billion New York infrastructure project if Schumer agreed to rename New York's Penn Station and Virginia's Dulles International Airport after him.
