The latest Trump campaign FEC disclosures show the team paid $137,025 to rent Trump Tower buildings, $5,289 for accomodation at Trump's hotels and $25,436 for legal services from Trump Corporation between January 1 to March 31 this year.
President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign has reported paying out $168,333 in the first-quarter of 2019 to Trump-branded hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
The Trump campaign also paid $50,000 for communications services to a company formed by former White House deputy press secretary Rah Shah’s, called RS Strategies LLC. The FEC disclosure reported that the campaign raised roughly $30.3 million in the term and expenses totalling $8.8 million. The report criticized the payments as a potential “conflict of interest” and one that allows Trump and his family to “profit directly from his public service.” “No modern president has jumped so directly from the world of business to the presidency as Donald Trump. And in so doing, Trump has refused to do as his predecessors have done: sever ties to the companies or financial interests that may pose, or present the appearance of, a conflict of interest,” the report read.
Anna Massoglia, researcher at the Center for Responsive Politics, told Newsweek that Trump's campaign payments to his businesses saw a sharp rise in 2016 and continued to remain prevalent in 2018 during the midterms."Now we are seeing this continuing into the 2020 cycle," she said.
