President Donald Trump is charging guests $5 million for personal meetings and $1 million for candlelight dinners at Mar-a-Lago, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the events. The money from these events is reportedly intended for Trump’s presidential library, although the exact allocation is unclear.
Don Moynihan, a public policy professor, expressed concern about the ethics of fundraising by a sitting president.
The $5 million meetings have become very popular among business leaders, indicating a desire for access and influence.
