Republican Governors Association paid $400K for getaway at Trump’s Miami golf resort

President Trump’s golf resort in Miami raked in more than $400,000 as a result of the Republican Governors Association’s hosting two events there in April and June, according to IRS filings published Wednesday.

The Trump Doral Golf Resort received $812 on March 13 for travel and lodging. That trip was likely an initial meeting where an RGA representative decided if the venue was fitting for its upcoming events.

On April 10, the RGA paid the golf resort $117,966. The GOP governors’ group forked up another $289,810 on June 13.

The organization met in Miami for its 2017 Corporate Policy Summit in May.

The payments are the largest payments a political entity has paid a Trump business since he took office in January. However, the amount is not too far off from last year’s expenditures. In 2016, the highest amount the RGA paid an event venue was $285,616 to the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay.
