Newly released documents have revealed that taxpayers paid for $1,000 worth of top-shelf liquor imbibed by President Donald Trump's staffers at his own club, Mar-a-Lago.
The incident occurred on April 7, 2017, when Chinese president Xi Jinping was visiting Trump's club in Palm Beach, Florida, and was revealed on Thursday through public records reported by ProPublica.
The incident is just one instance among many of federal expenditures at Trump properties to accommodate the president's travel.
After Trump and his top advisors joined Xi and his delegation for a sumptuous meal of Dover sole and New York strip steak, part of the group repaired to the club's Library Bar, best known for a portrait of young Trump in tennis wear titled 'The Visionary.'
