President Trump lavished praise Tuesday on scandal-scarred Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who has set up camp at the Trump International Hotel, according to a report.

During a face-to-face at the White House, Trump thanked Razak for his country’s investments in US companies and for helping combat ISIS jihadists.

The large elephant in the Cabinet room was the US Justice Department and FBI investigations into Najib’s multibillion-dollar 1Malaysia Development Berhad state fund.

Malaysia’s government has said it found no criminal wrongdoing at the 1MDB fund founded by Najib.

But it has been at the center of investigations in the US and several countries amid allegations of a global embezzlement and money-laundering scheme.

Upon arrival to the US, the Malaysian leader and his large diplomatic entourage checked into the Trump family’s swank DC hotel, which the president still owns, according to ThinkProgress.

The Malaysian newspaper New Straits Times posted video of Najib entering Trump International Hotel.

Najib held a news conference with Malaysian reporters from inside the hotel, according to an Instagram account belonging to a member of parliament accompanying him on the trip, ThinkProgress reported.

The Malaysian Embassy would not confirm to the outlet that Najib and his contingent spent the night at the hotel, where the “Trump Townhouse” suite goes for more than $18,750 per night.

The hotel has courted visiting diplomats willing to pay the sky-high prices.

In December, ThinkProgress reported that after the election, Kuwait canceled plans to hold its annual party at the Four Season and moved the event to the Trump hotel, which raked in a cool $18 million in the four months after the inauguration.

Other foreign nations patronizing the hotel include Bahrain, Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia.

But many legal experts have argued that Trump’s business practice is a violation of Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution. Accepting a so-called emolument could be deemed an impeachable offense.

The emoluments clause is to prevent foreign governments from buying influence with the US president.

According to the Justice Department, people close to Najib stole billions of dollars, and the federal government is working to seize $1.7 billion it says was taken from the fund to buy assets in the US.

The investigation included an alleged $681 million transfer into the prime minister’s personal account, Reuters reported.

At their meeting, Trump and Najib focused on areas of agreement, such as economic development and counter-terrorism measures.

Flanked by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Vice President Mike Pence, Trump listened raptly as Najib described Malaysia’s purchase of billions of dollars’ worth of aircraft from Chicago-based Boeing.

Trump said the deal is worth $10 billion to $20 billion.

Trump also said Malaysia is a “massive investor in the United States in terms of stocks and bonds.”

“They have to be very happy because we are hitting new highs on almost a weekly basis,” Trump said. “We’re very proud of our stock market, what’s happened since I became president.”
