GIRVAN, UK. (THECOUNT) — Some members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform are trying to gain steam behind pushing what they are calling a “rather suspicious stop” by a US military plane at President Donald Trump owned Scottish Golf Course Turnberry. Both trips en route to and from a routine trip to the Middle East, according to reports.
The House Oversight Committee, in an effort to “conduct their congressional duties,” have been trying to make a thing out of the Guard visits since April by opening yet another costly, time consuming and endless investigation salad bar.

“In early Spring of this year, an Air National Guard crew made a routine trip from the U.S. to Kuwait to deliver supplies. What wasn’t routine was where the crew stopped along the way: President Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort, about 50 miles outside Glasgow, Scotland,” Politico’s Friday night report read.
According to a senior Democratic aide, their efforts have been met with nothing but “stonewalling” from Trump’s Pentagon.
“The Defense Department has not produced a single document in this investigation,” the aide revealed. “The committee will be forced to consider alternative steps if the Pentagon does not begin complying voluntarily in the coming days.”
Reports indicate that the military plane is stopping at Prestwick Airport, which is the closest airport to Donald’s Turnberry golf resort, to refuel — despite the fact that stop is significantly out of the way, and significantly more expensive than refueling at a US military base, reports DCTribune.
