CORRUPTION/DEMS/ETHICS/G7/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP BUSINESS: “U.S. President Donald Trump will host next year’s Group of Seven economic summit of leaders of developed nations at his Florida golf resort, a move Democrats and others decried as more evidence of the president misusing his office for personal gain. White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Thursday [10-17-19] told a news conference that the G7 summit would take place at Trump National Doral golf resort near Miami from June 10 to 12, after the administration chose it from about a dozen potential sites. The Republican president faces criticism and a number of congressional investigations over his finances and potential conflicts of interest stemming from his real estate business, which he still owns. He also faces an impeachment inquiry into accusations that he pursued political interests in his dealings with Ukraine.”
