THE State Department spent more than US$15,000 to book 19 rooms at the new Trump hotel in Vancouver when members of President Donald Trump's family headlined the grand opening of the tower in late February.

The hotel bookings - which were released to The Washington Post under a Freedom of Information Act request - reflect the first evidence of State Department expenditures at a Trump-branded property since Mr Trump took office in January.
