In the waning days of the 2020 campaign, a lot of money was spent by Trump’s campaign at the president’s properties. An investigation by the Washington Post has found:
President Trump’s campaign and its affiliated committees spent more than $1.1 million at Trump’s own properties in the last weeks of the 2020 campaign — continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in which Trump has converted $6.7 million from his campaign donors into revenue for his businesses since taking office, new campaign finance filings show.
Little detail is known about the individual payments. The Post reports some appear to be hotel rooms while others were more than $100,000 for facility rental and catering.
Trump visited his properties nine times in the closing days of the campaign, according to the Post. Those trips allowed Trump to convert campaign contributions into revenue for his company.
