Bessent named to steer G20 agenda as Trump proposes Doral site

Subject: FOIA Request - G20 Summit Contracts and Ethics Compliance Records. Dear OGE FOIA Officer, I am submitting a Freedom of Information Act request for records related to the 2026 G20 summit at Trump National Doral Miami. Key facts: On September 5, 2025, President Trump announced the U.S. will host the 2026 G20 summit at Trump National Doral Miami. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was named to help oversee the summit agenda. A White House official said Doral would bill attendees at-cost for services. Doral is owned by the Trump Organization. Critics warned this raises Foreign Emoluments Clause concerns because foreign governments would pay a Trump-owned venue. Records requested: White House and Treasury records on contracts and invoices for event services. Records of payments from foreign governments to Trump National Doral. Ethics compliance reviews and determinations related to the G20 venue selection. Documentation of at-cost billing arrangements. Impact: When foreign governments pay a president's business, it raises serious ethics and constitutional concerns. The Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits federal officials from accepting payments from foreign governments. My request: I request these records under FOIA to ensure transparency and accountability. Please provide all responsive records related to contracts, payments, and ethics compliance for the G20 summit venue selection. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [NAME] from [CITY/STATE].
