The president accepted $38,000 in rent last month through Trump Tower Commercial LLC, the entity that owns his Fifth Avenue skyscraper. Since Trump took office, his campaign has paid that company $1.5 million, more than any other property in the Trump empire, according to an analysis of federal filings. More money went to Trump Restaurants LLC, another company the president owns outright. Forbes first reported on money moving from his reelection campaign to his business in 2018. A representative for the Trump campaign ignored a series of questions about the payments and instead issued a broad statement.
