New tile about the former president Donald Trump. According to documents released by House Democrats, the tycoon received at least $7.8 million by 20 foreign governments during his presidency, particularly China. The 156-page dossier prepared by Democrats, titled “White House for sale,” accuses the tycoon's companies of interacting and doing business with foreign governments during his time in the White House. Specifically, as The New York Times reports, the transactions are said to have occurred at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York, and the Trump International Hotel World Tower on 845 United Nations Plaza in New York. This is a counterattack by Democrats on the impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden, who is accused of being directly involved in his son Hunter Biden's foreign policy during his time as vice president under Barack Obama.
The Democrats' accusation against the tycoon
“By putting his personal financial interests and the political priorities of foreign powers above the American public interest, former President Trump violated both the Constitution and the careful precedents established and followed by each of his predecessors,” it says the report Jamie Raskin. Of the $7.8 million earmarked for Donald Trump's companies, China would be the foreign power that would have written the largest check: $5.5 million. The payments include millions of dollars from the Chinese Embassy in the United States, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Hainan Airlines Holding Company. Saudi Arabia is also proving to be an excellent trading partner for the Donald empire: $615,000 was donated to the Trump World Tower and the Trump International Hotel. The son of the former US President, Eric TrumpHe rejects the Democrats' accusations and emphasizes that “this narrative is crazy.” He also stressed that “there is no president in the history of the United States who has been tougher on China than Donald Trump,” citing the tariffs imposed by the former president on the People's Republic. He then added that the Trump Organization “does not have the capacity or capability to prevent anyone from booking through a third party” at the hotel.
“Legitimate business”
The Dem report is fueling political conflict in the country. According to Republicans, the former president's business dealings are more than legitimate and have nothing to do with the case Joe Biden. “Former President Trump has a legitimate business, but the Bidens do not,” Congressman James R. Comer said in a statement, accusing the Bidens of earning three times more from foreign governments than Trump by “using the Bidens’ name.” “exploited”. ” Republicans in the House of Representatives are investigating foreign trade Hunter Biden and about the role of the president – then vice president of the United States – in his son's affairs in foreign countries such as Ukraine, China and Mexico. On December 27, the Republican-led House Oversight and Judiciary Committees called on Hunter Biden to testify before Congress as part of the impeachment inquiry. Republicans also said they wanted to determine whether the US president was involved in his son's decision not to comply with a congressional subpoena.
