Mike Pence will be the keynote speaker at a Heritage Foundation event at Donald Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, according to Politico.
The event, which will be held in the hotel’s presidential ballroom, will honor major donors who contribute at least $1,000 each year, per Politico.
Trump’s hotel in D.C. presents a conflict of interest for the president, as he leases the building from the federal government and will oversee the General Services Administration as president.
His hotel in D.C. also may create opportunities for co-mingling of Trump’s business and his duties as president. As Politico noted, two foreign countries, Azerbaijan and Bahrain, have booked events at Trump’s hotel, located blocks from the White House.
Gawd, the stench from this pre-administration is really getting bad.
They aren’t even trying to be clean.
Oh well, nine more days #narrativematters
I hope disgruntled employees start leaking copies of bills for the room charges for diplomats and function room rental fees for sycophants. They aren’t paying list price.
A Democrat would be stoned to death for doing this.
After his speech, Pence will set up a table outside the ballroom to accept contributions for the inaugural (coronation) celebrations and the Trump Foundation.
