Democrats Want to Know How Much Agencies Are Spending at Trump Properties

In perhaps their broadest document request yet, Democratic members on the House Oversight and Government Reform panel on Tuesday wrote to all major agencies seeking details on how they might be “spending federal taxpayer funds on products or services provided by businesses owned by or affiliated with the Trump Organization.” The 18 Democrats, led by committee ranking member Elijah Cummings, D-Md., wrote separate letters to 23 agencies seeking documents relating to expenditures by any entity within the agency “to the Trump Organization or President’s trust,” a reference to the legal entity Trump set up in January that allows his adult children to continue running his vast hotel, golf course and luxury product business holdings.
