The letter instructs that any flagged material be revised to “replace divisive or politically driven language with unifying, factually grounded, and constructive descriptions”, nothing like rewriting history, of course.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal
