(Evelyn Hockstein/For The Washington Post)The Trump Organization announced Monday that it donated the profits from “foreign government patronage” at its hotels last year to the U.S. Treasury, but declined to identify those foreign customers or the amount of the contribution. President Trump’s company made the donation on Thursday, according to George A. Sorial, the Trump Organization’s chief compliance counsel. “We have nothing further to share at this time,” Amanda Miller, a Trump Organization spokeswoman, wrote in an email. To assuage concerns about such payments, Trump promised before taking office that he would donate profits from foreign governments. On Monday, Rob Marus, a spokesman for District of Columbia Attorney General Karl A. Racine, said the Trump Organization’s donation bolstered the suit.
