WASHINGTON Even as he leverages his presidency to make himself millions, perhaps even billions of dollars, Donald Trump is also funneling Republican donor money into his own cash registers through the political committees he controls. In the 10 months since he retook office, the Republican National Committee has spent at least $796,513 at Trumps hotels and country clubs, while MAGA Inc., Trumps super PAC, has spent $60,733, according to a HuffPost analysis of Federal Election Commission data.
The figures are based on filings to date, with some committees providing updates only twice a year. The total number for 2025 will not be disclosed until the end of January 2026. The combined $857,246 represents just under four-fifths of the $1.1 million that the Republican candidate and committees spent at his properties.
The RNC, for example, spent $193,145.70 on March 5 to hold an event at Mar-a-Lago, Trumps country club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida. Two months later, on May 2, the committee spent $307,202.49 for an event at his golf resort in Doral, near Miamis airport. Three weeks later, on May 30, MAGA Inc. spent $20,711.84 at Trumps golf course in Sterling, Virginia.
In all, 73 different GOP candidates and committees sent money Trumps way, from $45.20 from Wyoming congresswoman Harriett Hagemans campaign to $1,461.13 by the Massachusetts Republican Party to the five- and six-figure sums spent by MAGA Inc. and the RNC.

(78,355 posts)He wanted a piece of the action as soon as he realized how much money Epstein was hauling in.
And all the big banks handing out money as well for the sex and drug ring.

(1,190 posts)that his DOJ and FBI have handed over copies of everything they have to Trump, and he is already blackmailing all the Uber Wealthy and Politcians, who were enjoying what Epstein & Ghislaine were offering......You can be sure that that is the reason that Epstein went bye-bye, and he is set to give Ghislaine a forever get out of jail free pardon......the only two people that could have made the blackmail impossible......

(78,355 posts)I think Trump had quite a few of these files copied during his first term.
And had CIA dossiers compiled on most of his friends and enemies as well.
And on judges and members of congress.
I would also not be surprised if Trump still has a drug and sex ring going.
Too much money there for him to drop this product line.
50/50 whether he will let Ghislaine live.

(1,190 posts)just like Heidi Fleis? who basically also go off scott free.....
Both of these females were smart enough to have complete records of everything, distributed to several people......
The people had instructions to send the records, if ANYTHING happed to them, to news media, foreign and abroad.
Dynamite insurance policies that would prevent any person or group from coming after them........

Everything Trump touches dies.
I don't believe Trump cares what comes out about him.
He knows he is untouchable

(1,190 posts)for some massive Nuremberg Trials.......along with Putin
Putin had to come to Alaska, or the area that Trump mistakingly referred to as "Russia", due to the fact that there are many countries that will arrest him on the spot, and send him to the Hague for International War Crimes, (along with Assad from Syria)
Trump has TWO masters he is taking directions from......Putin & the Stephen Miller 2025 group......

(2,443 posts)The closest thing we have on this subject is the victim's group civil suit re: misconduct alleged against JPMC in 2022-23. The allegations centered around Epstein's pattern of cash withdrawals (of his money) that should have been reported but were not, because he had his buddy Jes Staley inside JPMC running interference, and upper management appeared to be more interested in keeping Epstein's investments under their control than getting him in trouble by making legally-required reports.
The victims alleged this cash being withdrawn (and not reported) was used to pay them, and Epstein's recruiters, for their "services" (some victims were also paid for recruiting so they fall into both classes), but never suggested there was some big-dollar international trafficking ring involving rich dudes from all over the world. It was pretty much just that JPMC looked the other way about his cash withdrawals and some there knew (or should have known) that the cash withdrawals were being used for illicit purposes.
There was certainly no allegation along these lines "And all the big banks handing out money as well for the sex and drug ring", in the context it was 'the bank's money', like they were themselves "investors". That is totally unsubstantiated by anything we know (at the moment at least), and the victims group did not make that claim. It was all about Epstein's use of his own accounts, and that JMPC looked the other way because he had large investment accounts with them they didn't want to lose the $$$ from.
I personally don't believe the Biden administration would've just ignored it and only charged Maxwell with trafficking a couple of girls to Epstein if he were in fact running a for-profit international sex trafficking enterprise with a demonstrable money trail.
