Trump and his allies continue to pour donor money into Trump's businesses

Donald Trump may be out of office, but federal and state campaign disclosures show that political donor money continues to pour into his properties.

Donald Trump may be out of office, but political donor money continues to pour into his properties across the country. In just the first six months of this year, dozens of Republican campaigns and political groups have together spent at least $750,000 at Trump properties, with nearly half of that coming from fundraising committees directly affiliated with or linked to Trump himself, according to federal and state campaign disclosure reports. Of that $750,000, the largest chunk was spent by the Make America Great Again PAC, Trump's presidential campaign committee-turned political action committee, which paid the former president's businesses more than $210,000 from January through June. Much of that came from five monthly rent payments of $40,000 each for office space at Trump Tower in New York City, while the rest came from nearly $8,000 in lodging expenses at Trump hotels.
