New records obtained by The Washington Post revealed that the Trump campaign sent nearly $400,000 to his private business in just two days.
According to the documents obtained by the post, the campaign channeled $380,000 to the president’s personal business in 43 transactions.
The Post’s David Fahrenthold reported that the Trump Organization told him the money was for a weeklong “donor retreat” at Mar-a-Lago in March.
Open Secrets, an arm of the Center for Responsive Politics that closely tracks money in politics, spotted the payments in Federal Election Commission filings from the Trump Victory Committee.
