One day — July 25, 2017 — shows how @realdonaldtrump and his family have turned their Secret Service protection into a moneymaker for their private business. On that day, Trump Org did business with the US govt in 3 countries at the same time. Here’s how: — PolitiTweet.org

There's no question that Trump's children should have Secret Service protection. But ethics experts ask: Why charge the agents who're protecting you? That turns a publicly-funded benefit into a source of private revenue. https://t.co/gDyPSuW5zw — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: @realdonaldtrump's adult children turned their Secret Service agents into captive customers for Trump Org -- by taking them to Trump properties, then charging the government for their rooms. Total bill: More than $239K, that we know of. https://t.co/gDyPSuW5zw — PolitiTweet.org

We now know that US taxpayers have paid at least $1.2 million into @realdonaldtrump's company since he took office. We should learn more this week! Both @StateDept and @DeptofDefense have promised to release documents we asked for in late February. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: @realdonaldtrump's adult children brought at least $239K in government payments to their family business. All they had to do was visit their father's properties -- which then charged the Secret Service to accompany them. https://t.co/gDyPSuW5zw — PolitiTweet.org

Example: @TMobile announced a merger that needed Trump admin approval. **The next day** its execs began spending big at the Trump Hotel. The CEO walked the lobby in T-Mobile gear, like a human billboard. Is that OK, as long as the hotel is losing $? https://t.co/6OwajJyOr9 — PolitiTweet.org

David Fahrenthold @Fahrenthold

To me, the Q isn't whether @realdonaldtrump has lost money or made money as president. It's whether he and his family used the public trust of the presidency to *try* to make money. That's why we want to know how much $ Trump got from influence-seekers & took from taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org
