The White House may set up a fund by which private donors can curry favor w/Trump by giving donations toward G-7 that might save taxpayers money but would go to Doral/Trump, which will already reap mega-publicity from the event.

Metastatizing corruption.

A reminder: House Democrats can and should make Trump's spectacularly corrupt G-7/Doral decision part of the impeachment inquiry and possibly part of an article of impeachment.

Here's @RepRaskin laying out a process to us by which this could be done:

@RepRaskin There's a clear thread between the Doral corruption and the Ukraine scandal.

Over and over, Trump abuses the power of his office to advance his personal/political interests, with zero regard for the national interest. He's serially betraying the country.

@RepRaskin The walls are cracking.

Republicans are increasingly admitting that Trump's metastatizing corruption is putting them in a precarious, untenable position.

“You have to try to defend him," one says. "I don’t know if I can do that!"

@RepRaskin Trump is now serially telling the GOP base that standing behind him means standing behind his absolute right to abuse his office in any corrupt manner he chooses. Trump is forcing Rs to defend that position. Dems should make them do that every day. FIN
