Between Election Day 2016 and September 2017, political committees reported paying at least $1,270,000 to Trump entities.
Not a dollar has come from Democrats.
Among congressional Republicans, 40 have spent campaign, leadership PAC $ at Trump properties.
These are the GOP officials who have
spent the most at Trump properties

Since President Trump won last years election, his company the Trump Organization has experienced an increase in one particular line of business: hosting fundraisers and receptions for Republican lawmakers.
These events have mostly happened at Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington, which opened last year. The luxe hotel has a large ballroom, two smaller banquet rooms and a BLT Prime steakhouse. It was designed to attract campaign fundraisers, even if Trump had not won the White House.
He did. And Trump made the controversial decision to maintain ownership of his businesses as president, even as he handed day-to-day control to his adult sons.
That arrangement has made 2017 a fascinating experiment: How would the fundraising circuit change now that legislators had the option of spending their campaign dollars with an incumbent president?
Between Election Day 2016 and the end of September of this year, federal political committees reported paying at least $1.27 million to Trump entities, according to Federal Election Commission filings.........................
