119 Agency Officials Noted for Visiting Trump Properties
Two years into the Trump administration, “interactions” between lobbyists, government officials and Trump businesses have topped 1,400, according to a study released late last month from the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Tallied mostly from news accounts, public documents and social media mentions of visits to Trump-owned properties, the report specifically listed 119 such visits from agency officials—a list of which was provided to Government Executive.
“President Trump has tried to use the presidency to enrich himself by promoting his businesses as extensions of his administration,” wrote CREW. “That includes conducting government business at them, praising them in his official capacity, and even going so far as to offer exclusive perks to members of his clubs including access to government leaders, influence on government business, and in some cases, appointments to government positions.”
