Attorney General William Barr is planning a private holiday party at President Trump's DC hotel
The party at the Trump International Hotel, Washington, DC, could wind up costing more than $30,000, according to The Washington Post, which first reported on the party and its details. A Justice Department official told CNN that the party is not an official Justice Department event and will be paid out of Barr's pocket.
He drew criticism earlier this year for downplaying certain damning elements of former special counsel Robert Mueller's report in statements that helped set the first public narrative as it was released. Trump no longer runs his sprawling business empire, having handed that responsibility to his adult sons before he took office, though he still benefits from them financially.
