GOP Lawmaker Accidentally Tries to Ban Trump Spending

“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.”
