In news from the campaign trail, a new investigation by Politico has revealed Donald Trump’s campaign has paid more than $8.2 million to Trump-owned businesses for everything from office space rent to food for events, which Politico describes as “an unprecedented amount of self-dealing in federal politics.” The $8.2 million accounts for a full 7 percent of the campaign’s expenditures. In 2000, Trump said, “I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it.”
