The top Democrat on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has formally requested an independent investigation into the Air Force’s increased use of a commercial airport in Scotland and overnight stays at the Trump Turnberry resort.
The Air Force is already conducting a review of its refueling and lodging practices following the revelations that Air Force personnel have been using the struggling Glasgow Prestwick Airport more frequently over the last several years to refuel and at least in several instances stayed at Trump’s seaside resort more than 30 miles away.
The Air Force has said the stops are within Pentagon guidelines and noted that the Turnberry bookings, in some instances orchestrated by a local travel service, fall within acceptable rates for military travel. But the Air Force also conceded that the appearance of staying at the president’s property might create a negative perception.
Peters is eager to determine the frequency of military overnights at the golf resort, not just the total number of airport stops and overnights.
