House Democrats are investigating the president’s use of government money to fund stays at his resorts
’s golf courses in Ireland and Scotland have been losing money, and it appears Trump has been using government funds to prop up these properties by forcing military members and government officials to stay at his properties. This is highly unusual for the members of the military, who typically stay and refuel at military bases.
“The crew were so confused by what was happening when they were rerouted to Scotland to refuel at this tiny airport outside of Trump Turnberry because they had never done that before in the fifty-plus trips they had taken to do these routine supply trips,” Natasha Betrand, who broke the story along with Bryan Bender,
on Friday. “They didn’t have enough money; their per diem allowance didn’t even allow them to buy food and drinks there. They felt totally out of place.”And the military appears to be complicit, refusing to cooperate with an investigation by the House Oversight Committee into the matter. “The Defense Department has not produced a single document in this investigation,” a senior Democratic aide on the oversight panel told Politico.
