That's why I said as long as he's charging the same rates, then it's not a COI.

Quote:Federal Election Commission reports show that the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign paid $35,457 per month for rent and utilities to Trump Tower Commercial LLC when Mr. Trump’s campaign was largely self-funded, roughly between August 2015 and this April. The payment began increasing, however, in May, after he had agreed to launch a joint fundraising venture with the Republican National Committee. Last month, rent hit $169,758, nearly four times what he paid earlier in the spring. The Huffington Post first noted the increase in payments.

The Trump campaign said in a statement the rent hike came as the Trump team expanded the space it rented from just the fifth floor to the entire 14th and 15th floors. The campaign tripled its space, even though it only has about 70 people on its payroll and a few dozen consultants.

Which, is likely to be completely different now that he's not trying to win?
