Once Donald J. Trump was in the White
House, his family business discovered a lucrative new revenue stream: people

over 200 companies, special-interest groups and foreign governments that
patronized his properties while reaping benefits from him and his
administration. Nearly a quarter of those patrons have not been previously
reported. An analysis of data from Mr. Trump’s
tax records revealed just how much that new line of business was worth at a
time when large swaths of his real estate holdings were under financial
stress. |
