Foreign autocrats looking to influence Trump administration policy showered hundreds of thousands of dollars on former president Donald Trump by spending lavishly at the Washington DC hotel he maintained just blocks from the White House, according to financial records from the ex-president’s former accounting firm released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday.
The documents, which were obtained from ex-Trump accountants at Mazars, inc by way of a subpoena issued by the late oversight committee chairman Elijah Cummings, showed how several foreign governments dropped huge sums of money at the twice-impeached ex-president’s Pennsylvania Avenue hotel at times when they had serious business before the government Mr Trump led at the time.
