Since Donald Trump took office, the U.S. military has spent nearly $200K at the president’s luxury Scotland resort
The spending, which has all occurred since August 2017, paid for the equivalent of hundreds of nights of rooms at the Turnberry resort over approximately three dozen separate stays, the committee said.last week that its crews had stayed up to 40 times at Trump’s property since 2015, but has not provided a breakdown of the number of stays since Trump was elected.
The Democrats called the Pentagon’s response so far — about 21 pages of material turned over to the panel, and no underlying invoices or travel records — “woefully inadequate.” The Pentagon also provided documents reflecting charges at Turnberry that were higher than its stated average per diem allowances for hotel rooms, including 17 separate charges for $450 on June 25, 2018, 45 separate charges for around $300 on September 26, 2018, and three charges for over $600 each on November 18, 2018, according to the committee.
