House Democrats Report Trump Hotel Profited from Political Favors

A new report alleges that Trump's D.C. hotel hosted officials seeking appointments and Secret Service agents at inflated rates during his presidency.

The House Oversight Committee led by Democrats released a report detailing $300,000 in spending at Trump's Washington hotel by individuals seeking political favors during an 11-month period of his presidency.
Secret Service agents were charged significantly higher rates than other guests, including foreign dignitaries, while protecting Trump and his family.
Ambassadors and would-be judges were among those who spent thousands at the hotel, with some later receiving appointments or pardons from Trump.
The report suggests these payments may have violated the Constitution's emoluments clause, which prohibits a president from receiving payments from government officials.
The Trump Organization denies profiting from government officials and claims the report is politically motivated, while the Republican-controlled committee dismisses the findings as recycled and unsubstantiated.
