Trump maintains control over and can profit from his businesses while in office through a revocable trust—a structure he also used during his first term—of which he is both the sole donor and sole beneficiary. During his first term, political groups spent $11.8 million at his properties—including $3 million at his since-shuttered Washington, D.C. hotel, $1.8 million at the Miami resort and nearly $500,000 at Mar-a-Lago—according to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
