...But the self-congratulatory mood came as ethics experts called out Trump’s New Year bash for crossing boundaries between the president’s public responsibilities and his private interests. Tickets for the event cost $600 for Mar-a-Lago members and $750 for their guests.
Richard Painter, the former top ethics lawyer in the George W Bush administration, told the Guardian on New Year’s Eve that he felt that the party – as with Trump’s continued use of Mar-a-Lago generally – offered presidential access to anyone that can afford its $200,000 initiation fee.

“He can easily be contacted by members of Mar-a-Lago, so people who pay him or pay his company money are getting preferential access. If you go to the bar, you run into prominent government officials. So it’s lobbying, but it’s not lobbying that’s going to be disclosed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act.”
