Air Force Crews Stayed At Trump Resort 4 Times

September 9, 2019 at 8:18 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Air Force crews have stayed overnight at President Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland on at least four occasions, two more than previously reported,” Politico reports.

“The four trips — uncovered through interviews with people present, records of expenditures and social media postings — date back to at least September 2018 and continued through at least this past June. They include at least one instance in which a crew member said a nearby airport arranged for rides and lunches to and from the luxury waterside retreat.”

“All the flights were shuttling crews between the United States and the Middle East, and at least three of them of them were divisions of the Air National Guard. In total, over 60 service members stayed at the posh property on these stopovers.”
