The net effect: $1.3 million of donor money has turned into $1.3 million of Trump money. In December, Forbes reported on the first $1.1 million that President Trump moved from his campaign into his business. The campaign put more than $800,000 into Trump Tower Commercial LLC, the holding company through which Trump owns his interest in the original Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. Trump Restaurants LLC is another holding company tied to Trump Tower. It’s a key question because federal regulations allow candidates to put campaign money into their own businesses only if they pay going rates.
