TRUMP WHOSE CHIEF OF STAFF
ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY THAT IT
WILL BE HELD IN FLORIDA WHILE
DEMOCRATS AND SOME REPUBLICANS
ARE SCREAMING CONFLICT OF
INTEREST HERE.
INTEREST HERE. THEY MAINTAIN THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG WITH IT AND SO WHO IS
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? CHRIS SPOKE TO THE WASHINGTON
POST REPORTER WHOSE BEAT IS THE
BUSINESSES FOR HIS TAKE.
>> IT HAD IS A LITTLE SOMETHING
THEY WROTE BEFORE IT WAS
WRITTEN.
WRITTEN.
WRITTEN. ONE OF THE WEAK SIDES OF THE
REPUBLICS IS THAT THEY AFFORD
TOO EASY TO FOREIGN CORRUPTION.
SEEING THIS POTENTIAL, THEY
WROTE TWO OF THE CLAUSES IN THE
CONSTITUTION.
CONSTITUTION. THE FIRST SAYS THEY CANNOT
RECEIVE ANY GIFT, MONEY, OR
THING OF VALUE FROM A FOREIGN
STATE.
STATE.
STATE. AND THE OTHER SAYS THEY CANNOT
RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT FROM OUR
OWN GOVERNMENT OR U.S. STATES
BEYOND HIS OR HER SALARY.
>> I WAS AWARE OF THE POLITICAL
SORT OF CRITICISM THAT WE WOULD
COME UNDER FOR DOING THE DRAFT.
>> Reporter: AND NOW THAT THE
PRESIDENT AND THE CONTROVERSY
IN HAND.
IN HAND.
IN HAND. THE ECONOMIC SUMMIT WILL BE
HELD AT THEIR OWN PROPERTY.
THEY SAY IT'S THE PERFECT
LOCATION AND THEY WILL NOT
ACCEPT ANY PROFITS.
DEMOCRATS LIKE NANCY PELOSI
SAYS THEY ARE CLEAR, HE WOULD
BE IN JAIL FOR THAT.
>> Reporter: EVEN FOX BUSINESS
WENT FURTHER.
WENT FURTHER. >> THIS IS ABOUT AS DIRECT AND
PROFOUND, THE VIOLATION AS ONE
COULD CREATE.
COULD CREATE. >> AND WE SKYPE WITH THE
REPORTER.

THAT IT WILL PRODUCE UP THE
ALLEY?
ALLEY?
ALLEY? >>
ALLEY? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY?
>> HOW MUCH MONEY COMES OUT OF
IT?

IT? AND HOW WILL HE MAKE MONEY AND
WHO WILL HE CHARGE AND WHAT
WILL THEY MAKE?
VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT
THAT AND HE'S GOING TO DO THIS
AT COST.
AT COST.
AT COST. >> HE MAKES ZERO FROM THIS.
WOULD THAT BE A STRAIGHT
VIOLATION?
VIOLATION? >> THEY DO NOT SAY YOU SHALL
NOT MAKE A PROFIT.
BUT IT SAYS YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE
PAYMENTS AND ALSO WHO COULD
CHECK IT, RIGHT?
HE'S THE BUYER AND THE SELLER,
SO IF THEY THINK THAT WHAT HE
CALLS HIS COST IS TOO HIGH, WHO
WILL CALL ANYMORE?
>> AND HOW DO THEY VET THE
PROCESS?
PROCESS?
PROCESS? AND HOW WILL YOU VET IF HE'S
MAKING PROCESS OR NOT?
>> IT WILL BE HARD AND
DEPENDENT ON THEIR GOVERNMENT
TO TELL US WHAT THEY ARE
SPENDING IN HIS BUSINESS,
ASKING ABOUT THAT.
EVEN IF THEY DO NOT CHARGE
ENOUGH TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF THE
ACTUAL SUMMIT THAT IT WILL
PROVIDE MONTHS OF PRESS
COVERAGE, OF YOUR RESORT AND WE
HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO
HAVE HOSTED THEM IN THE PAST
AND SAID YEAH, BRING IN A TON
OF BUSINESS AND WILL GIVE THEM
A PROFILE AROUND THE WORLD AND
MARKETING PUBLICITY THAT IT
WILL COME TO THIS AND IT IS
HARD TO REALLY PUT A VALUE
BEYOND JUST THE CATCH TO TAKE
TO THE EVENT.
>> IF YOU'RE WONDERING FOR
CONTEXT, WHERE THE OTHER
SUMMITS HAVE BEEN HELD IN THE
U.S. BEFORE, HERE YOU GO.

TOGETHER AND LOOK AT OTHER
PLACES?
PLACES?
PLACES? >> NO.
>> NO.
>> NO. WE
>> NO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH.
>> THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WHITE
HOUSE IS DISCLOSED, LOOKING AT
11 OTHER PROPERTIES.
THEY HAVE A TEAM AND A
COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT ALL OF
THESE AND SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY ARE COMPARING TO ROUTE TWO
AND NOT TO SAY IT WILL BE AN
EXPLICIT PLACE.
EXPLICIT PLACE. BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
COMPARING TO AND ALSO ONE OF
THE THINGS WE MENTIONED HERE.
THE CLAUSE, THEY WILL STATE WE
SHOWED UP EARLIER THAT IF YOU
RECEIVE A GIFT THAT YOU NEED TO
TELL CONGRESS ABOUT IT AND THAT
IT WILL BE COOL OR NOT AND IT
SAID IT RIGHT THERE.
THE CHECK AND BALANCE HERE.
THEY DO NOT HAVE A SAY ABOUT
ANY OF THIS.
>> IF THEY'RE IN VIOLATION OF
THE MONUMENT CLAUSE, WHAT
HAPPENS?
HAPPENS?
HAPPENS? >> THE OTHER CHECK AND
BALANCES, IMPEACHMENT,
