The Iowa National Guard's stay at President Donald Trump's Turnberry resort in Scotland is one of multiple trips under congressional investigation
About 40 Iowa National Guard members last year were bused about 23 miles from an airplane refueling stop in Scotland to room overnight at President Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort.
The group — along with a Des Moines Register reporter and photographer — landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. They were transported by bus about 23 miles to Trump Turnberry Scotland, a luxury resort that markets itself as having one of the top golf courses in the world with views of the Ayrshire Coastline.
'Conflict of interest concerns': House investigating increased military spending at Trump's Turnberry resort “Given the President’s continued financial stake in his Scotland golf courses, these reports raise questions about the President’s potential receipt of U.S. or foreign government emoluments in violation of the U.S. Constitution and raise other serious conflict of interest concerns,” Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, wrote in a June 23 records request to the Department of Defense.
Wunn said decisions about where to land to refuel and where to stay are part of a complex review conducted through the Defense Travel System, sometimes referenced as the"Pentagon’s in-house travel agent."
