BREAKING: Donald Trump is caught fleecing American payers out of their tax dollars as it's revealed that he grossly overcharged his Secret Service detail when he was president — by as much as 300%. And it gets so much worse... According to a new report by the Democrats on the powerful House Oversight Committee, Trump charged the Secret Service up to 300% their per diem for accommodations at the Trump International Hotel Washington in D.C. In other words, the American people were forced by Trump to overpay to keep Trump safe. NBC News reports that agents assigned to Trump's son Eric and wife Lara were hit with a staggering $600 fee per room on November 28, 2017. Meanwhile, 80 other rooms were rented at a lower rate. The report also exposed some of the more widespread corruption occurring at the hotel (which has since been sold). Many commentators pointed out that it was essentially a legal way to bribe/launder money to Trump. If someone wanted to influence him, they could run up a bill at the hotel — thus putting money directly into his pocket. The report reveals that Kelly Craft spent $30,000 at the hotel, an expenditure which could be tied to Trump's decision to appoint her as an ambassador twice. In fact, four of Trump's ambassadorial nominees, four of his administration officials and commissioners, one judicial nominee, and five individuals that he would eventually pardon spent money at the hotel over the 11 months investigated by the report. The report describes "a menagerie of unethical transactions." "Just as his hotels were used to shake down foreign governments and monarchs, they were used also to fleece American taxpayers," it reads. It's time for a full investigation of Trump's finances. Please retweet and ❤️ to demand that Congress investigate more than just those 11 months — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.
