U.S. Attorney General William Barr has reportedly booked President Donald Trump s hotel in Washington, D.C., for a winter holiday party that a Washington Post report says will likely bring the hotel more than $30,000 in revenue.

The Post said Tuesday that it obtained a copy of the contract Barr signed for a private 200-person Family Holiday Party at the Trump International Hotels Presidential Ballroom on Dec. 8.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A department official told the Post that Barr is paying for the party himself and only chose the Trump hotel after finding out other venues were booked.

According to the newspaper, its copy of Barrs contract requires a minimum of $100 per person for food and drink before an additional 35% for taxes and tip, and calls for the attorney general to pay at least $31,500 even if the event gets canceled.
