A staff report by House Oversight Committee Democrats, based on Mazars-produced records for limited years and entities, found that Trump businesses received at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments while he was president—likely an undercount. Watchdogs report higher estimates when aggregating additional sources, while Trump publicly asserted the payments were for ordinary services.
