comment. yo i don't know. one possible theory about the improved game. people are talking about. the february summit he held with kim jong un. think about it. kim jong un and his friend who sent the big beautiful letters o president trump likes to show off. anyway. according to his official biography kim's father once shot eleven holes in one in his first golf match ever. how about that. anyway. it's unclear if had shared his fathers fare way or passed them. as for tonight until the white house or u.s. golf association says otherwise it appears president trump did have one heck of a good round of golf. big, beautiful. maybe a bit unbelievable.

anger the saudi government. but we have increasing cause to be concerned that the president's financial interests maybe in influencing government policy. now i'll pause and say we can't prove it. the burden of proof is not on the american people. it's on the president. >> reporter: as for profits from foreign governments, the president has vowed not to take them. that's why the trump organization says it voluntarily wrote a check to the u.s. treasury. for $191,000. claiming it represents all profits from foreign government patrons at trump properties in 2018. >> do you buy it? >> no. what we know from president trump and the way he runs business and personal affair, they are very opaque. nothing is transparent. >> in other words he suspects the president isn't telling the truth. just like when trump promised he

income to trump as his request. the president has been able to withdraw money since the beginning of presidency. it means people who want to influence the president have places to try. >> if you want to influence trump. you can go to the trump international hotel in new york city. go to the hotel in d.c. he has golf clubs and hotels. all over the world. >> india. >> as for the condos in india. people are putting deposits on them right now. >> maybe these are people who want to buy condos. or who want to influence the president. >> that is up next. this time, it's his turn. you have 4.3 minutes to yourself. this calls for a taste of cheesecake. philadelphia cheesecake cups. rich, creamy cheesecake with real strawberries. find them with the refrigerated desserts.

and it's simple, easy, awesome. i don't know why i keep crying, after all these years you'd think i'd be over it by now, but i'm not. it hurts. >> it's been a decade since sandra sapole felt duped by donald trump, it was 2008. the international housing crisis was coming to a boil and sapole sensed something was wrong with trump ocean resort, baja, mexico. we got in the car one saturday and drove down there, there was no furniture left inside. you start getting emotional, you're like, no, no, nothing's wrong.

>> within weeks, two letters. >> this letter was the very first time that we heard the trump brand name and the trump there and the developer that, licensed. >> it read trump marks baja llc has elected to terminate the license agreement. the second letter explained, given the extreme dislocation of the financial markets the baja project will not be able to proceed. sapole felt stunned. >> what? >> and deceived. >> what? >> the market sunk the project but she believed trump, the dealmaker she saw on "celebrity apprentice," was steering the ship. trump organization attorney allen garten defended his client to cbs saying buyers had an obligation to read the fine print. >> it's incumbent on anyone accountable and responsible to

read the documents. >> in the fine print someone else is identified as the developer of the property, but the fine print is not all that matters. >> the question is what are the representations that are made? are they true, or even close to true? and are they what we would call material, are they relevant to a decision that a buyer of the property would make? here one would think they are material and it seems as if they were false. >> so then, like next step is, what are we going to do now? where's our money? who has our money? where'd the money go? nobody's returning e-mails or any phone calls, we're trying to get our money back. >> sapole and her husband began contacting lawyers. >> and then somehow a law firm called us saying that many, many people are getting together, they're going to do a lawsuit and would we like to be included? i said, well, yeah, we would like to be included, of course we want to be included. >> soon after -- >> dear prospective client, in

put a lot of money into trump and we know the saudis and other middle east people put money into trump. but did they do it in ways he's compromised? it could come out these are legitimate investments when we see the documents. >> there's so little we do know. the president still hasn't released his tax returns. >> he's got developments in indonesia, in india, in the middle east. who is buying in? >> who is paying money at all of the clubs and resorts? i would want to know any loans to any of his businesses. >> they spent a lot of cash in a nine-year period before they became president. i would love to see where all that money came from. is there really money behind this man or is it all just a bunch of debt? >> i would want to know, what steps he took to prevent international corruption or to prevent fraud in his business. >> because there's so much we don't know we can't evaluate whether his policies are based on his stated aims or his personal financial interests. and that's what keeps me up at
