Former President Donald Trump defended his businesses accepting payments from foreign governments during a Fox News town hall.
This came after a House Oversight Committee report found that his businesses received at least $7.8 million from foreign governments while he was in office.
Trump explained that the payments were for accommodations at his hotels and clubs, stating that he was providing services in return. (Trending: Fox News Star Accused Of Major Scandal)
Trump is asked about the report that his businesses profited over $8 million from foreign governments including China while he was president. He said that is such a small amount of money and “I was doing services for them … I don’t get $8 million for doing nothing!” pic.twitter.com/BLhAU3OKCS

“That’s a small amount of money. You know, it sounds like a lot of money. That’s small,” Trump said.
“I was doing services for them. People were staying in these massive hotels, these beautiful hotels,” he said.
“I don’t get $8 million for doing nothing.”
The report claimed that these payments violated the Constitution, as Trump did not seek or receive Congress’s approval for them.
“President Trump never sought or received Congress’s approval to keep these foreign payments, as the Constitution requires,” the report read.
Additionally, the report mentioned Trump facing 91 criminal charges across state and federal cases, including falsifying business records and election interference.
