Donald Trump has blasted Hillary Clinton for accepting money from Saudi Arabia through her foundation, but a Daily News investigation reveals he has padded his bank account with cash from the same country.
Trump sold the 45th floor of Trump World Tower to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for $4.5 million in June 2001, according to a city Finance Department spokeswoman. In 2008, the apartments became part of the Saudi Mission to the United Nations, records show.
The five apartments included 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms at the time of the sale, and had yearly common charges of $85,585 for building amenities, documents obtained by The News show. If those common charges remain the same, Trump was paid at least $5.7 million by the Saudi government since 2001.

Earning money is quite a bit different than accepting political contributions.
Apples and oranges. Trump sold real estate. Hellary sold state secrets. Big difference.
Yes indeed...I was about to say the same thing, but you beat me to it.
Trump sold a PRODUCT (Real estate) to the Saudis. They were his CUSTOMERS.
Hillary sold her SOUL to the Saudis. That makes them her MASTER.
Idiots. Big difference between ill gotten gain (Hillary) and selling one’s property. Apple’s and avocados.
What was it Hellary sold is the key question. She received money out if the goodness of their heart? That’s a tough sell.
What office of public trust was Trump holding when
he sold his own property?
They are really frightened and are making enormous
gaffs and mistakes.
They’re getting desperate...
Hillary accepted donations to her foundation for nothing but access to herself and other politicians, and Trump is a bad guy because he did what he does for a living, sold some real estate...
Quite a big difference between selling a physical item and pay for play politics...
TRUMP WASN’T IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE AT THE TIME!! Sheesh, Big Media’s credibility is sinking so quickly.
Can someone please point that out to me?
All Hillary can do is launch negative attacks on Trump.
Losing campaigns always do this. That’s why they’re losing.
She isn’t running a sunny, optimistic campaign. That’s what Trump is doing.
The MSM is in panic and none of their attacks are working.
I love the smell of the Hildabeast’s impending defeat.
The New York Daily News is really for dumb people to read!
If this is all they have, dey ain’t got ‘nuttin.
Trump sold things.
Hillary grifted...
You can’t make up the expressed stupidity of the third world free press in the United States.
DID YOU SEE CHRIS WALLACE DOC CARSON INTERVIEW?
HE TALKED DOWN TO DOC CARSON LIKE HE WAS A BLACK IGNORANT TOADIE, THIS PROVES WALLACE SHOULD NOT BE A DEBATE MODERATOR.

Mozambique, come collect your third world press corp.
It’s stinking up our nation.
Ever attempted to engage in a reasoned and logical conversation with a “progressive”? Enough said.
Trump would have gotten in a lot of trouble if he had refused to let the Saudis buy a piece of real estate. Somebody was going to buy it, fair value was given for value received.
What value did the Saudis get from Hillary?
Yes!!
