BEVERLY HILLS, CA — President Donald Trump will be in Beverly Hills Tuesday for a fundraiser at the home of developer Geoffrey Palmer, one of the biggest names in L.A. real estate and a major Trump and Republican Party donor.

Trump's Beverly Hills fundraiser, which takes place during Emmy Week, has already raised eyebrows after actress Debra Messing's call to publish a list of Hollywood figures who are attending, Deadline reported.

"The public has a right to know," the actress said. The president later claimed she was trying to create a "blacklist" of his supporters, the website reported.
