Data: Report produced by House Oversight Committee Democrats; Chart: Axios Visuals

A report from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee alleged today that Trump received at least $7.8 million in foreign payments to his properties during his presidency, Axios' Andrew Solender and Stef Kight report.

Why it matters: It's the most solid figure to date on the scope and scale of Trump's private windfall from foreign sources, which Democrats allege is a clear-cut violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause.

Driving the news: The 156-page report titled "White House for Sale: How Princes, Prime Ministers, and Premiers Paid Off President Trump" draws on documents from Trump's accounting firm, Mazars, obtained after years of high-profile court battles.

  • It lays out foreign payments to four Trump properties, two in New York, one in Washington, D.C., and one in Las Vegas, from at least 20 foreign governments or government-owned entities, including China, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Kosovo and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
  • By far the largest chunk of the $7.8 million came from China, which spent nearly $5.6 million at Trump Tower in New York and Trump International Hotels in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas.
