“A House Republican freshman and steadfast ally of President Trump has introduced legislation that would inadvertently ban the president’s reelection campaign from spending money at Trump-owned businesses,” the Daily Beast reports.
“It’s almost certain that Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) did not intend to prohibit the president from steering campaign funds to his own hotels, resorts, and golf clubs. He introduced a bill this month explicitly designed to target campaign spending by a House colleague, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)… But the language of his legislation would very likely bar Trump campaign payments to Trump businesses as well, and his office could not muster an explanation otherwise.”
