And Trump made it very clear that he would favor people who patronized his hotel. There was just one day in April of 2018 when a group of executives from T-Mobile who wanted Justice Department approvals for their merger checked into the hotel. That same day, Trump held a fundraiser with two business associates of Rudy Giuliani, who had contributed $300,000 to a superPAC related to Trump and were, therefore, able to go straight to Trump to pitch their idea for a gas company in Ukraine. That was what was going on at the hotel. And President Trump made it very, very clear that if you paid him, you could play.
