In the preface of the report, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) wrote: "It is true that $7.8 million is almost certainly only a fraction of Trump’s harvest of unlawful foreign state money, but this figure in itself is a scandal and a decisive spur to action."
USA Today reports that the information came from information handed over to Congress by Mazars USA, Trump’s former accounting firm in 2019.
