According to The Center For Public Integrity, a "new Texas nonprofit led by Donald Trump's grown sons" seems to be telling folks that for million-dollar donations you can have access to their very powerful dad.
Prospective million-dollar donors to the "Opening Day 2017" event — slated for Jan. 21, the day after inauguration, at Washington, D.C.'s Walter E. Washington Convention Center — receive a "private reception and photo opportunity for 16 guests with President Donald J. Trump," a "multi-day hunting and/or fishing excursion for 4 guests with Donald Trump, Jr. and/or Eric Trump, and team," as well as tickets to other events and "autographed guitars by an Opening Day 2017 performer."
Website TMZ.com first published a brochure hyping the happening. The brochure says that "all net proceeds from the Opening Day event will be donated to conservation charities," but it does not name the charities or detail how net proceeds will be calculated.
This new "non-profit" is called the Opening Day Foundation and it was created just a few days ago, on December 14.
The paperwork for the Opening Day Foundation listed four directors: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Dallas investor Gentry Beach and Tom Hicks Jr., the son of a Dallas billionaire.
Money rules everything around me. That's the next president. This information was updated as the Trump transition team found out that everybody else found out.
Trump's transition team emailed a statement from spokeswoman Hope Hicks. It reads: "The Opening Day event and details that have been reported are merely initial concepts that have not been approved or pursued by the Trump family. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are avid outdoorsmen and supporters of conservation efforts, which align with the goals of this event, however they are not involved in any capacity."
Here's the brochure.
