Access for sale: Trump's resorts tether politics to profit

CREW's analysis shows politicians and foreign officials visiting Trump's properties—especially Mar-a-Lago—turning his resorts into a political venue and potential profit engine.

Critics warn this blurs the line between office and private business, while Trump and his aides argue there’s no conflict and enforcement is uncertain. Trump continues to host events, underscoring his properties as a hub of access and influence.

The decisions create uncertainty about the alignment with FDA authorizations and future vaccination procedures.
