The report said the drug cartels purchased hotel units to hide the origins of money earned through drug trafficking and other criminal activity, and Trump is estimated to have earned tens of millions of dollars from the deals.

They aren’t holding hearings about the Trump Organization, and the president himself is not being transparent.”
