A month after @realDonaldTrump was elected, Saudi-funded lobbyists began reserving blocks of rooms at Trump's DC hotel. We estimate they reserved 500 rooms, in the middle of the busy weeks around Trump's inauguration. Total cost: more than $272K.

The avg. rate for the Trump Hotel in this period: $768 per night. Saudi lobbyists say they paid far less, b/c they got a veterans discount.
This was interesting: the military-style “Operations Order” docs sent out to vets arriving on one lobbying trip. Notice the “Enemy Forces”
