keeps sort of driving home the same point over and over again. when it comes to using your public position for private gain today the washington post was first to report that the president and his family just pocketed a few million dollars from the sale of this property in beverly hills, california. now it s obviously a very nice place. it s apparently like 5,000 square feet. it s in beverly hills, swimming pools and movie stars. and then this is an expensive property president trump owned in beverly hills. president trump bought it 12 years ago in 2007 for $7 million. but you know what property is often a good investment. that property has gone up in value. last year it was assessed by los angeles county to have appreciated significantly in value. it appreciated by over $1 million. it was a $7 million purchase when president trump bought it in 2007. $7 million. last year it was assessed at $8.3 million. it s gone up. last year assessed at $8.3 million. turns out he just sold it for
