Democrats say the president overcharged Secret Service agents protecting him and his family for rooms at his hotel while he was president.

The report is part two of an investigation by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee into financial benefits Trump received in office.

Democrats say it offers a window into the ways Trump used the Oval Office to curry favor from foreign governments and people looking for access to the Trump administration.

Democrats on the Oversight Committee released the first part of their report in January .

It revealed Trump ’s private businesses received at least $7.8 million from foreign entities while he was president.

Trump has also faced several lawsuits accusing him of violating the emoluments clause.

The new report does not even suggest a penalty for Trump directly.
