The Trump Organization on Thursday said it was “honoured” to have been chosen by its owner, the president, for this event.

“We are excited to have been asked to host the 2020 G7 Summit at Trump National Doral,” the company said in a statement.

But the company did not respond to questions about how much money it will make off this event.

Eric Trump did not respond to questions about how much the president’s company would charge the United States or foreign governments during the event. He also did not respond to questions about whether the Trump Organization would ask taxpayers to pay for upgrades to the site. One obvious concern for next year: There will be at least eight world leaders coming to this event, but at present Doral has just two “presidential suites.”

The State Department, which typically helps organize these events, declined to comment.

Mulvaney said the White House was not going to release information about the selection process.

“If you want to see our paper on how we did this, the answer is absolutely not,” he said.

On Capitol Hill, the Democratic-led House has already passed a measure that would ban federal funds from being paid to the president’s properties – a provision that, if it became law, would seem to block a gigantic federal event at the Doral Club.

Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., one of 200 congressional Democrats who have sued Trump over his doing business with foreign governments and are investigating Trump’s D.C. hotel, said that president’s ongoing interest was to “leverage the presidency to benefit himself, his family and his associates, rather than the country’s interests.”
