Tax records show 200 entities funneled money to Trump properties while reaping benefits from White H

Source: The Hill

Nearly a nearly a quarter of the entities have not been previously reported.

Sixty patrons who promoted specific interests to the Trump administration spent almost $12 million on expenses associated with the Trump Organization during the first two years of Trump’s presidency. The Times reported nearly all of these customers saw their interests move forward.

In interviews with almost 250 business executives, club members, lobbyists, Trump property employees and current administration officials, sources detailed to the Times how Trump conducted business and interacted with customers who were seeking help from the administration.

it makes me so angry he is getting away with it all. How could anyone vote for the con man crook. The Republican party turns a blind eye to it all.

Investigate EVERY single person or company who paid ANY Trump entity ANYTHING during the last five years and prosecute EVERY last one who broke ANY law.
