Donald Trump used illegally his own inauguration money to enrich himself and his family shortly after his election. Racine declared that they refused to accept this kind of corruption.

In its lawsuit, the District of Columbia said that Trump Inaugural Committee was a non profit corporation and coordinated with Trump’s relatives “to grossly exceed the cost of event space at Trump hotels during Trump’s 2017 presidential inauguration,” the AG’s Office noted.

The office stated that although the Inaugural committee knew it paid much more than the market rate, the group never looked at less costly alternatives and had even purchased space for events on days it didn’t hold them.

“The Committee used several hundred thousands of dollars to host a private party at Trump’s expense.”
