Foreign governments may be personally enriching Donald Trump by staying at the Trump International Hotel, which the Trump Organization runs through a lease from the GSA.
The head of the Government Services Agency (GSA) admitted Tuesday morning that she had no idea how much money foreign governments were spending at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., and had not bothered to find out.
GSA Administrator Emily Murphy's comments came in response to questions from Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) during an Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management subcommittee hearing.
"Could you please confirm for the record that the GSA has no idea whatsoever as to how much spending by foreign governments accounts for the income and profits at the Trump Hotel?" Garamendi asked.
"That's correct, sir," Murphy said, adding that she only knew what she had read in newspapers.

The occupancy rate will go down when Donald is gone.
