Today on behalf of @PropOTP we released documents detailing $254,000 in Secret Service spending at Trump Properties from the first 5 months of this administration. This is taxpayer money that went directly to the Trump organization. Read the list here: propertyofthepeople.org/document-detai…
@PropOTP It's worth noting that this list only covers the spending of 1 government agency during a period of 5 months of the Trump Administration. During this time the agency was charged an average of $2,000 daily by the Trump organization.
@PropOTP It's also worth noting that Donald Trump began visiting his properties more frequently during his second year in office. This means it is likely that this agency has actually been charged much larger amounts in the months that followed the period outlined in this production.
@PropOTP But even if we adhere to a baseline of $2,000 per day it would mean that Donald Trump's businesses have charged the Secret Service no less than $2.1 million dollars across the 1036 days he has been in office.
@PropOTP Now ruminate on the fact that when Donald Trump travels he often is accompanied by representatives from multiple government agencies. Each are being charged by the property they are visiting for things like, food, lodging, cart rentals, and sometimes items like ...red carpets?
@PropOTP @NatashaBertrand @politico @Fahrenthold @washingtonpost David is right, there will likely be so much more to this story, but at the very least we can say this ...we have examined a mere fraction of Donald Trump's sprawling tapestry of domestic emoluments violations and @PropOTP continues to litigate to get the public a clearer picture
@PropOTP @NatashaBertrand @politico @Fahrenthold @washingtonpost This is why we have partnered with @derekkravitz and the folks over at @propublica to catalog the myriad ways Donald Trump is profiting off the presidency. These expenditures and others are being logged in their Paying the President feature here: projects.propublica.org/paying-the-pre…
@PropOTP @NatashaBertrand @politico @Fahrenthold @washingtonpost @derekkravitz @propublica Lastly, @PropOTP is largely a volunteer effort manages (I don't know how) to pull litigation like this off on a shoestring budget. If you have the means and feel inclined to help pay our legal bills you can make more of this work happen: propertyofthepeople.org/profiting-from…
@PropOTP @NatashaBertrand @politico @Fahrenthold @washingtonpost @derekkravitz @propublica Post Script: All legalese aside Trump's flagrant disregard for the Domestic Emoluments Cause of the US Constitution can be summed up in one image...
