The governments of countries including China and Saudi Arabia spent at least $750,000 at the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C., while he was in office, the records show.
The governments of six foreign countries, including China and Saudi Arabia, spent at least $750,000 at former President Donald Trump's Washington, D.C., hotel while he was in office, according to records obtained by House Democrats, renewing scrutiny over whether he profited from foreign governments during his one term in office.
In addition to the room charges, the hotel charged the delegation $9,229 for"coffee breaks," and Razak incurred charges of $1,500 for a"personal trainer," according to a receipt Mazars turned over to the committee that was included in Maloney's letter. Stays by the Saudi and Emirati delegations occurred at the same time as Trump's firing of his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, whom the governments had been lobbying the then-president to remove, Democrats allege.
The documents further show that in late August 2017, months before Trump traveled to China and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, a delegation from the Chinese Embassy spent $19,391 at Trump's hotel.
