Donald Trump Admits He Received
Money From China While President
Jan 11, 2024

Donald Trump admitted he did receive
money from foreign governments such
as China while he was president, as
his business was providing a "service"
for them.

Speaking at a Fox News town hall on
Wednesday night, the former president
defended himself from accusations
made in a recent report from
Democrats on the House Oversight
Committee which accused him of
accepting payments from foreign
governments from countries such as
China, Saudi Arabia and Qatar while
in office.

The report accused Trump of violating
the U.S. Constitution's foreign
emoluments clause, which prohibits
federal officials from accepting
money or gifts from foreign
governments without permission from
Congress, after overseas officials
stayed in his real estate company's
hotels and apartments during his
time in the White House.

The January 4 report alleged that
four businesses owned by Trump
received around $7.8 million from
20 countries during his time in
office, including at least $5.5
million from China, during his
first two years as president.

Within three days of the Chinese government
agreeing to provide $500 million in loans to
an Indonesian theme park that the Trump
Organization has a deal to license President
Donald Trump's name to, the president
stunningly ordered sanctions be rescinded
against a major Chinese telecom company.
