WASHINGTON _ Democrats are planning to investigate President Donald Trump's proposal to host next year's G-7 summit at Trump National Doral Miami, arguing that his latest comments show that his personal financial interests are shaping his decisions as president.
The House Judiciary Committee said Wednesday that it will hold hearings next month and request additional documents from the White House to justify why the president wants to hold a high-profile gathering of world leaders at his Doral golf resort that reported lower profit margins in the past year.
"This week's revelation about efforts to select the Trump National Doral Miami as the site of the 46th G7 summit is only the latest in a troubling pattern of corruption and self-dealing by the President," Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Constitutional, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties chairman Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said in a joint statement.
