TFG Cashed In On Jan. 6 Riot Furor, Records Show [View all]
Former President Donald Trump has been accused of inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, and it appears he also profited from it, according to records examined by Forbes magazine.
As Trump touted the coming gathering of his supporters — at one point last December tweeting: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” — the price of the least expensive rooms in his Washington hotel zoomed from $476 to $1,999. Just over a week later, prices hit $3,600 — and eventually reached an astonishing $8,000 on Jan. 6, Forbes reported.
In-room dining also hit record highs, according to the hotel’s director.
Guests included Trump allies and insiders working to overturn his 2020 election loss from a nearby “war room” at the Willard hotel, Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Forbes noted, basing its report on various social media posts.
