John Kasich, US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley and Vice President Pence, who created his own fundraising committee, has been a keynote speaker for at least eight Republican events since February, and hosts donors at his Naval Observatory home.

One Month Inside the Trump International:
The Washington Post sent reporters to the bars, restaurants and lobby of the Trump International Hotel every day for the month of May and wrote about how it's become "a kind of White House annex," with everything from events hosted by foreign groups to Trump team members posing for selfies.
"This is nothing Washington has ever seen. For the first time in presidential history, a profit-making venture touts the name of a U.S. president in its gold signage. And every cup of coffee served, every fundraiser scheduled, every filet mignon ordered feeds the revenue of the Trump family's private business." | | Credit: The Washington Post
