Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:<p>Oversight Democrats’ New Report Proves Trump Used His D.C. Hotel to Take Unconstitutional Domestic Emoluments, Fleecing the Taxpayers</p><p>The report is based on a limited set of records—hotel guest logs covering just 11 months at a single one of Donald Trump’s more than 500 business entities—produced by Mr. Trump’s former accounting firm, Mazars USA LLP, before Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, working with attorneys for former President Trump, slammed the door shut and blocked Committee Democrats from obtaining additional records pursuant to a Committee subpoena and court-supervised settlement. Giving new meaning to the term “petty cash,” most of the payments made in the time frame discussed in this report were small—and their cumulative total is just over $300,000—but these transactions provide a glimpse into the wide array of unlawful and unethical transactions, including flat-out violations of the Constitution, that characterized Donald Trump’s methodical exploitation of his presidency for moneymaking purposes.</p><p><a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/oversight-democrats-new-report-proves-trump-used-his-dc-hotel-take" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">oversightdemocrats.house.gov/n</span><span class="invisible">ews/press-releases/oversight-democrats-new-report-proves-trump-used-his-dc-hotel-take</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/emoluments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emoluments</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corruption</span></a> </p><p>The report (PDF): ROOM RATES MAY VARY: HOW DONALD TRUMP VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION BY FLEECING TAXPAYERS WITH UNLAWFUL AND EXORBITANT HOTEL CHARGES<br>- A Glimpse Into President Trump's Domestic Emoluments Rackets and Pay-to-Play Schemes <br><a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-oversight.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-10-18COA-DEM-Staff-Report-Domestic-Emoluments.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">oversightdemocrats.house.gov/s</span><span class="invisible">ites/evo-subsites/democrats-oversight.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-10-18COA-DEM-Staff-Report-Domestic-Emoluments.pdf</span></a></p>
