Nearly $500,000 from President Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign has gone directly to Trump-owned restaurants, hotels and golf clubs, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
Of the more than $6 million in campaign funds spent in the first three months of 2017, $274,013 has gone toward rent at Trump Tower, the report said, citing Federal Election Commission filings.
Another $58,685 has gone toward lodging at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., and $13,828 has gone toward renting facilities and catering costs at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
During his 2016 campaign, Trump’s campaign spent more than $14 million on Trump-branded companies and family-owned businesses.
The filings come amid growing criticism over the president’s approach to distancing himself from the Trump Organization.
