President Donald Trump was in full sales mode, doing everything but pass out brochures as he touted the features that would make the Doral golf resort the ideal place for the next G-7 Summit: close to the airport, plenty of hotel rooms, separate buildings for every delegation, even top facilities for the media.

Government ethics watchdogs have long railed against the perils of Trump earning money off the presidency and hosting foreign leaders at his properties.
