Melania Trump spent $ 95,000 in taxpayers' money during a day in Cairo, Egypt, according to a report released Friday by Quartz. Records of federal spending indicate that the Semiramis Intercontinental Cairo – where the presidential suite has only $ 699 – received the sum sum for what the expense report called "FLOTUS visit hotel rooms". A White House spokeswoman told Quartz that Melania had not spent the night at the hotel and only went to Cairo for about six hours. She did not explain the reason for the payment of nearly $ 100,000. Quartz notes that the total is slightly higher than the $ 77,345.35 that the government spent on Trump's two-day trip last July on his golf course in Scotland, although the payment of nearly $ 80,000 also covers his son Eric, chief of staff John Kelly, press secretary Sarah Sanders and social media director Dan Scavino, among others.
