Acting White House Chief of Staff Mulvaney, asked about the original choice of President Trump's private Miami golf resort to host next year's G7 summit, said Trump 'still considers himself to be in the hospitality business.'
On Sunday, Mulvaney acknowledged he never would have been in that position had the press conference not been set up to announce the news that president had awarded his own resort the G-7 summit.
"And it's not lost on me that if we made the decision on Thursday, we wouldn't have had the press conference on Thursday regarding everything else, but that's fine," Mulvaney told"Fox News Sunday." The G-7 decision — which Trump had teased at the summit in Biarritz, France, over the summer — came under immediate criticism that Trump was seeking to personally profit off the presidency. The White House insisted that would not be the case amid the widespread concern that Trump would be violating theof the Constitution, which bars any cash or gifts from foreign government officials to the president that are not otherwise approved by Congress.
Trump has already come under scrutiny for how often he visits Trump-owned and Trump-branded properties as president, which leads to tax dollars being spent at his business. Trump is also the subject of multiple lawsuits and congressional investigations accusing him of either violating the emoluments clause or profiting off the presidency.
In a Thursday statement, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Mulvaney's G-7 announcement was"among the most brazen examples yet of the president's corruption." His committee announced a probe in August when the president first floated the idea of hosting the upcoming G-7 at his resort.
