Democratic lawmakers say T-Mobile's patronage of the Trump International Hotel Washington shows President Trump is profiting from his office.
T-Mobile’s patronage of President Trump’s hotel in the nation’s capital increased sharply after last April’s announcement of the company’s merger deal with Sprint, with executives since spending about $195,000 at the property, the company told congressional Democrats in a letter last month.broke on April 29 of last year, the company said, only two top T-Mobile officials had ever stayed at the Trump International Hotel Washington, with one overnight stay each in August 2017.
The roughly $195,000 paid for “meeting space, catering, business center services, audio/visual equipment rental [and] lodging” at Trump’s hotel near the White House, according to the letter from Anthony Russo, T-Mobile USA’s vice president of federal legislative affairs. The company’s boost in spending at the president’s hotel as its merger is being considered by the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission has drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers, who say it shows that Trump is profiting from his office.
“While we understand that staying at Trump properties might be viewed positively by some and negatively by others, we are confident that the relevant agencies address the questions before them on the merits,” Russo wrote.In a separate letter last month to Warren and Jayapal, T-Mobile Chief Executive John Legere said the stays at the Trump hotel were not intended to influence Trump administration policy.
