Trump Denies Knowing About Air Force Stays at His Resort

September 9, 2019 at 11:25 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump claimed in a tweet that he knew “nothing” about Air Force crews lodging at his Scotland resort while refueling at an airport in the area.

Said Trump: “I know nothing about an Air Force plane landing at an airport (which I do not own and have nothing to do with) near Turnberry Resort (which I do own) in Scotland, and filling up with fuel, with the crew staying overnight at Turnberry (they have good taste!). NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.”

Axios: “Trump’s tweet comes less than a week after House Democrats opened an inquiry on the use of tax dollars at Trump properties and as the House Judiciary Committee plans to vote this week to formalize an impeachment inquiry.”
