Document shows GSA employees spending at the Trump Hotel in DC
Source: CNN
An employee for the federal agency supervising the lease for the Trump hotel in Washington spent more than $900 for a stay there last year, according to a document reviewed by CNN -- the first publicly known movement of federal taxpayer dollars into the highly scrutinized business.
The federal employee worked for the General Services Administration, the agency which supervises the lease of the Old Post Office building to the Trump Organization.
The GSA reimbursed the employee for a majority of the charges, which was in line with the agency's policy on per diem expenses, according to a person familiar with the document. That means taxpayer dollars made their way into the hotel's coffers.

GSA does not have specific guidance regarding employees use of the Trump hotel in Washington, the agency said in a response to a separate CNN FOIA request last month.

The government should avoid doing business with Trump companies.
