jprince99x 3,547 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Ground transportation for Vice President Mike Pence's stay at President Donald Trump's Doonbeg, Ireland, resort cost taxpayers nearly $600,000, according to State Department receipts. The government paid the same company nearly $1 million for Trump's ground transportation during a June visit to the property. Democrats have raised concerns that Pence’s stay at Trump’s resort could have violated the emoluments clause in the Constitution. They’ve asked for details like the cost of the stay, Secret Service protection, and comparable rates for hotels nearby as well as across the country in Dublin, where Pence held meetings with Irish officials and business leaders. "Unfortunately, your travel to President Trump's golf club is part of a troubling trend," Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., the ranking member of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee wrote in a letter to Pence. "Reports now claim that at least 24 of the 32 individuals who have served in the President's Cabinet have patronized Trump properties, including the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. — another property owned by the President." Attorney General Bill Barr spent $30,000 to host a party at the Trump hotel in Washington. More than two years into his term, the president continues to promote his properties with high-profile visits. Trump spent 295 of his first 956 days in office at his own hotels, according to NBC News. He recently proposed that the U.S. would host the 2020 G7 summit at Trump National Doral Golf Club outside Miami. Literally NO major news outlets are reporting on this. It has become a cover-up. It's the pettiness of the corruption that is so depressing.
