John,

Three days after the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, Donald and Melania Trump visited victims and first responders.

Trump also found a way to profit off that trip.

New documents obtained by CREW show that the Secret Service paid more than $30,000 to the Trump Hotel Las Vegas for “POTUS/FLOTUS.”

And that’s not all: when Mike and Karen Pence visited Las Vegas several days after Trump to attend a memorial service, their trip also put taxpayer dollars in Trump’s pocket. The Secret Service paid more than $15,000 to the Vegas Trump Hotel for their visit.

All told, official government travel to console victims and thank first responders after a devastating mass shooting led to over $47,000 in payments to Trump’s business.

We already knew that Trump took every opportunity he could to grift off the presidency. As it turns out, even tragedies weren’t immune to his push for profits.

Thank you,
