President Trump is getting a jump on 2020 next week with his first big re-election fundraiser. The president will host a re-election event on June 28 at his Trump International Hotel, located just a stone's throw from the White House.

Trump campaign director Michael Glassner said the hotel — located on property leased to Trump by the General Services Administration, which Trump now ultimately controls as president — is a "premier and convenient choice" for the event. Though Trump has "distanced himself" from the hotel's finances, The Associated Press noted critics have still raised concerns about the potential conflicts of interest posed by Trump hosting his donors at his hotel and dining there with his advisers.
