President-elect Donald Trump’s two adult sons are advertising private events with their father in exchange for $25,000 to $1 million donations, the Center for Public Integrity reports. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are listed as directors for the “Opening Day Foundation,” an organization planning an event with Donald Trump Sr. on Jan. 21, the day after his inauguration. The event is soliciting donations ranging from $25,000 to $1 million in exchange for a “private reception and photo opportunity for 16 guests with President Donald J. Trump,” a “multiday hunting and/or fishing excursion for four guests with Donald Trump, Jr. and/or Eric Trump, and team,” among other giveaways, brochures for the event say. The organization claims the money will go to “conservation” charities, but does not name the recipients.
