Zach Everson: “A ministry that trains young people to ‘champion a biblical worldview’ paid the Trump Hotel D.C. more than $180,000 to host a 2018 conference according to a filing the group made with the Internal Revenue Service. President Donald J. Trump still owns his hotel and can profit when political allies convert their donors’ contributions into a conference booking. In 2018, Trump reported that his share of the hotel’s revenue was almost $41 million. (The president doesn’t disclose his loses, so his profit that year is not public knowledge.)”
“Over three days in September 2018, Summit Ministries, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps 16 to 25 year olds ‘connect biblical truth to everyday relationships,’ held its annual conference at the Trump Hotel D.C. Per the group’s 2018 IRS Form 990, the ministry paid the Trump Hotel D.C. $180,824 to host the conference (making the president’s business the ministry’s second largest contractor that year). The group reported its total revenue for 2018 was $7.76 million, meaning 2.3 percent of its revenue that year was spent at the president’s business.”
