House Democrats released evidence that the former president took in at least $7.8 million from foreign entities while in office, engaging in the kind of conduct the G.O.P. is grasping to pin on President Biden.

Donald J. Trump’s businesses received at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments during his presidency, according to new documents released by House Democrats on Thursday that show how much he received from overseas transactions while he was in the White House, most of it from China.

The transactions, detailed in a 156-page report called “White House For Sale” that was produced by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, offer concrete evidence that the former president engaged in the kind of conduct that House Republicans have labored, so far unsuccessfully, to prove that President Biden did as they work to build an impeachment case against him.

    Excellent coverage of the blindingly obvious.

    That said, @tardigrada, going forward, please use the original source as the link. This allows us to determine what we’re walking into in a way that archive.org does not! I’ve updated the sidebar to clarify.

        Apologies for being unclear. I’ve revised the sidebar to reflect the need to use the original source regardless of paywall.

        Archive links make sourcing unclear as people browse new posts, so this makes for a better experience.

          Well, we can do that, of course, but then most people won’t be able to access the source. Not sure whether this is really makes a better experience. But that’s just my opinion. (Just posted the original link ofvthis article in the comments as you might have seen.)
