The Trump campaign has spent just shy of $689,000 at Trump properties since that date. But spending at Trump properties is also common among congressional candidate and leadership committees. On 55 days since Jan. 1, 2017, such committees have paid money to Trump properties — a total of more than $133,000. Last week, CNN reported that the Defense Department had spent almost $140,000 at Trump properties. It is safe to say, though, that the amount of income to Trump properties from the RNC and the Trump campaign itself is much higher than it would be had Trump not won the election.
