Oh 👋 Michael Cohen was just asked about our reporting showing Trump’s hotel charged Trump inauguration an “egregious” amount of $.

Ivanka was in the middle.

And it may all be illegal.

Huh. I didn’t know that Trump’s inaugural cost twice as much as any previous one. https://t.co/cKemtPB6Uj

Damn! Trump's inaugural was paying @realDonaldTrump's Hotel $175,000 PER DAY for event space. https://t.co/eFCCgTm0gE

This has to be an obvious pattern to everyone by now. Fred Trump built his empire by basically paying himself marked-up "expenses" for his apartment buildings and evading taxes. Trump Foundation used charitable donations as a personal slush fund. THIS FAMILY IS A SLEAZEFEST. https://t.co/3eLn2KyQNU

Pro Publica: "The Trump inaugural appears to have overpaid for space at Trump’s Washington hotel, a possible violation of the law. Federal prosecutors are probing the festivities." https://t.co/CgHoQOHd8H

Apparently Trump's Inauguration had nothing to do with Trump.

Nor did his campaign chairman.
Nor his lawyer.
Nor his national security adviser.
Nor his foreign policy adviser.

And given the amount of Executive Time, the presidency doesn't have much to do with him either. https://t.co/jTUaHP2s7c

The subpoena to the inaugural fund asks for docs related to payments made by donors directly to vendors. In the final weeks pre-inauguration, Rick Gates asked several vendors if they’d take $ directly from donors—a way for donors to avoid disclosure. https://t.co/iKhNsfOh2H

Prosecutors in New York pretty much want to know everything about Trump's inaugural committee. Everything. @postroz @postkranish https://t.co/qYmG3IiT1x

This subpoena is huge in scope and what the SDNY is looking at. Another reminder that as Mueller prepares to wind down, legal issues related to Trump are going to hang around in lower Manhattan for a long time https://t.co/OZMI800VcB
