Trump Campaign Spent 1 in 6 Dollars for His Personal or Business Use Last Month

In the month of May, more than $1.1 million -- one in six dollars that Donald Trump spent -- went to his own businesses, his family or himself, according to an ABC News analysis of new campaign finance records.

This includes a $423,000 payment to his Mar-A-Lago resort and $349,000 to his airline Tag Air. He also paid $125,000 to Trump Restaurants, LLC and $65,000 at two of his Florida golf courses.

In total, $1,100,513 of the $6,735,026 he spent in May (16 percent) went to his own businesses, family or personal accounts.

The numbers come after a lackluster public filing for Trump, showing he brought in only $3.1 million in fundraising, loaned himself $2.2 million and has only $1.3 million left in the bank.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and her Super PAC combine for nearly $100 million in the bank, taking in a combined $38 million in May.

Trump also spent more than $200,000 over the month of May on his “Make America Great Again” red hats. He dropped an additional $700,000 on t-shirts, mugs and stickers.

He spent another $1.5 million on various consulting agencies, like field consulting, ballot access and event consulting. Another $900,000 or so went to travel.
