Business leaders can secure a one -on- one meeting with the president at Mar-a-Lago for $ 5,000,000 .

At a so-called Candlelight Dinner held as recently as this past Saturday , prospective guests were asked to spend $ 1,00,000 to reserve a seat.

It's unclear where the money is going and what it will be used for, but one source with direct knowledge of the dinners said “it’s all going to the library,” as in the presidential library.

“I can’t recall a sitting president in the first weeks of his administration asking for millions of dollars in fundraising,” says Don Moynihan , a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan .

“The concern is less about fundraising, and more about access and influence People hoping to get favorable treatment view it in their interest to donate money to Trump , he says.
