Hello! We’re trying to answer a simple question: how much taxpayer money has been paid to @realdonaldtrump’s businesses?
This week, we learned that the @StateDept knows a big part of the answer.
But it won’t tell until after Election Day.

Backstory: we sued the @StateDept to get records about its payments to Trump properties.
They told a judge they had 450 pages, and would “aspire” produce up to 300 pages on Thursday.

When Thursday came, however, @StateDept released....2 pages!
Here they are. They show that when @LaraLeaTrump went to Trump’s golf course in Ireland, Trump Org charged her Secret Service agents $8,300 for their rooms. Taxpayers paid the bill.

That was it. The other 448 pages are still hidden, and the @StateDept doesn’t plan to release any more for a month.
That means taxpayers won’t get to know how much of their $ went to @realdonaldtrump’s private business until after the election. washingtonpost.com/politics/state…

Also, in the same vein, we sent @USGSA a Freedom of Information Act request abt their dealings w/ @realdonaldtrump’s DC hotel (which he leases from the US govt).
GSA sent back 26 pages — with only 10 total words left un-redacted.
