Trump campaign hired ANOTHER Four Seasons business and paid $50k for event attended by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner before Rudy Giuliani's infamous press conference
Before Rudy Giuliani's wild November press conference in the parking lot of Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Northeast Philadelphia, the Trump campaign took interest in a similarly-named landscaping company in California.
Trump's team paid $48,515.78 to a Four Seasons Landscape and Property Service in Santa Clarita, California on December 15, Federal Election Commission filings show.
The bill was paid by the Trump Victory Committee which was jointly run by Donald Trump's re-election campaign and various Republican Party groups including the RNC.
The RNC reportedly booked the company in late September for a Trump event in October.

The Four Seasons payment was for a different company to where Rudy Giuliani held his infamous press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia
At the time the ex-president was expected to embark on a short fundraising tour on the West Coast, stopping in Beverly Hills for a $25,000-per-plate fundraiser and another $2,800-per-plate event at a private Newport Beach residence, according to Spectrum News.
The specific event Trump's team hired the Santa Clarita-based company for is under wraps, according to owner Dan Blumel who cited a non-disclosure agreement to Politico.
'My staff met with the RNC,' he told Forbes. 'The Secret Service was there. They built a stage. There was a lot of landscaping that went in. We did the work in full and were paid in full.'
But he confirmed to Politico Trump was not in attendance - 'sadly,' he said, 'Mr. Trump got COVID.'
The then-president's highly publicized struggle with coronavirus saw him taken to Walter Reed hospital on Marine One, and later reports stated his condition was so severe he was nearly put on a ventilator.
According to Blumel however the event reportedly went on with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in his place.

Ivanka Trump stumped for her father in Arizona on October 11 while he was recovering from COVID
She visited Nevada the day after, though neither event has been linked to Four Seasons
Ivanka Trump did visit the West in early October to campaign on behalf of her father, stopping in Arizona on October 11 and Las Vegas, Nevada on October 12. However no record links those events to Blumel's company.
Shortly after ex-Trump lawyer Giuliani raged against the media and claimed Trump won the election in an industrial parking lot near an adult bookstore, Blumel reportedly began receiving a barrage of messages.
He said he was asked whether the now-infamous event at Four Seasons Total Landscaping was at all related to him.
But he confirmed all they share is a name, and his Four Seasons Landscape and Property Services is 'not affiliated' with the Philly-based service.
