Donald Trump has been the commander in chief for nearly 153 days, and he’s already got his eyes on a reelection campaign.

The president is launching his 2020 campaign with a fundraiser at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. next Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

Politico
got its hands on the invitation for the June 28 dinner, which will split the $35,000 per-head proceeds between Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee.

The International Trump Hotel, down the street from the White House, is located in the Old Post Office, which is owned by the federal government and leased to the Trump Organization. While Trump has turned over day-to-day operations of the hotel to his son, satisfying the General Services Administration, the president has not renounced his ownership stake in the company and continues to be enriched by it.

The hotel represents some of the myriad conflicts of interest inherent in the president retaining a complicated web of business holdings while in office. It’s already been the subject of a series of lawsuits, including an unfair competition suit brought by a local restaurant and a number of federal suits focused on constitutional violations. Cork Wine Bar’s suit argues that Trump’s hotel has an unfair advantage over the rest of the city’s business, because it promotes access to the president and his administration that no one else can match.

The first lawsuit against Trump to use the Emoluments Clause, which prevents sitting politicians from accepting payments from foreign governments, was filed by a watchdog organization shortly after Trump took office in January. Last week, two more were announced: the attorneys general of D.C. and Maryland are suing Trump for violating anti-corruption clauses in the Constitution, pointing to payments from foreign governments to the D.C. hotel; and Democrats in Congress filed a similar suit.

Artist Robin Bell projected the clause, along with “Pay Trump bribes here” and “Emoluments welcome,” on the hotel’s entrance of the hotel in May.
