Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., has introduced an amendment to the current “minibus” appropriations bill that would restrict federal funds from being used for rentals at any of 38 Trump-branded properties during official travel.

The spending package — which includes funding bills for the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, the Energy Department, as well as the legislative branch and many independent agencies — is expected to be taken up by the House this week. These funding measures typically garner extensive provisions. If passed with Beyer’s amendment, the legislation would block the reimbursement of lodging expenses as defined by chapter 301 of the Federal Travel Regulation if the receipt named an included property.

During the Monday plenary session of the AFGE 2015 Legislative Conference attendees heard from President Cox, NST Hudson, Rep. Donna Edwards, Rep. Don Beyer, Rep. Rob Wittman, Legislative Director Beth Moten, Communications Director Cory Bythrow and Legislative Representative John Threlkeld.

“These amendments are necessary due to the president’s unprecedented failure to divest from his business, and the ongoing entanglement between the Trump Organization and the White House. Donald Trump should not be allowed to line his or his family’s pockets with taxpayer dollars,” Beyer said.
