NEW: @realdonaldtrump’s businesses have charged the US government $1.1 million in private transactions — and Trump’s Bedminster club kept billing taxpayers for room rentals **even while it was closed** for covid. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-spending-bedminster/2020/09/17/9e11e1c2-f6a0-11ea-be57-d00bb9bc632d_story.html

Heres the email from Trump Bedminster’s GM, announcing the club was closing for covid on 3/17/20.
And here are two bills, showing @realdonaldtrump’s club charging the Secret Service about $16,000 while the club was shuttered.
Why? Trump Org wouldn’t say.

We are still trying to prove @erictrump right! He said the Trump Org charges the US govt “like 50 bucks” for hotel rooms.

But no luck so far!
We’ve looked at 100s of bills, and not found a single one that matches Eric Trump’s claim. The rates were all higher, up to $650/night.

Here are the questions we sent @realdonaldtrump’s company for this story. Note #1– If they have *any* evidence to back up their claim to charge taxpayers super-cheap rates, I want to see it!

(Trump Org didn’t respond to these questions. I’ll let you know if they do.)
