Grifting sure helps those red lines. 🙃 motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
So Tweeto can turn over docs to regulators - just not ones in US? 
Since Mr Trump entered office, the State Department has made at least four separate payments to Turnberry’s corporate entity. The latest brings the total spend to more than £75,000.
Ethics watchdogs warned the American public was “effectively subsidising” Mr Trump’s company, which has yet to turn a profit under his ownership, and said the 73-year-old was becoming “more and more brazen about using the presidency to advance his businesses.”
The money was routed July 3 fromState Dept Bureau pg European & Eurasian Affairs ➡️ body charged with implementing US foreign policy & promoting US interests in Europe. 👀 Eric

More brazen. Cuz no consequences
“This appears to be a reminder of how the American people are effectively SUBSIDIZING the president’s family business, which creates the appearance of public resources being used for private gain.” ✅
