A new report from House Oversight Committee shows Donald Trump took at least $7.8M from foreign governments while in office. The report says 20 nations made payments to Trump’s business during a two-year period.

Peter Baker, Carol Leonnig, Barbara McQuade, Maria Teresa Kumar, Reed Galen, Matt Bennett, and David Gura join.
