A decision by the Pentagon to increase its use of the airport to refuel Air Force flights in 2015 had local airport officials sending flight crews to hotels in the area for overnight stays, including Turnberry, according to the paper.
"While we are still reviewing the trip records, we have found nothing that falls outside the guidelines associated with selecting stopover airports on travel routes and hotel accommodations for crew rest", said Thomas, the director of Air Force Public Affairs.
Over the past several months, the House Oversight Committee has been investigating USA military expenditures at and around the Trump property in Scotland, raising questions about a conflict of interest.
Democrats, who control the House of Representatives, said last Friday that they will probe whether Trump has broken laws against profiting from the presidency. "Mike's family has lived in Doonbeg for many years, and he thought that during his very busy European visit, he would stop and see his family!"
According to a new report in Politico Monday evening, Air Force crew members have stayed the night at President Trump's Turnberry resort at least four times in the past year.
Additionally, the letter cites President Trump's continued promotion of Turnberry-after assuming office-and use of Prestwick Airport.
The U.S. Constitution bars government officials, including the president, from receiving financial benefits known as emoluments from foreign or domestic governments, without approval from Congress. Initially, Pence's chief of staff, Marc Short, told reporters Trump had suggested Pence stay at the resort - something the President later denied.

A US Embassy official has confirmed the blast to PBS, but had no further details. The blast was caused by a rocket attack, a local reporter Jawad Jalali said.

The cameras will also be able to capture 4k video at 60fps across both cameras (i.e. including the wide-capture camera). The iPhone business - still Apple's single biggest moneymaker - has been lackluster at best of late.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees are demanding information and documents about both Pence's stay and the G7 summit location planning from the White House, the Vice President's office, the Trump Organization, and the US Secret Service.
The deal with the US Defence Logistics Agency (DLA), which manages the global supply chain for the US Army, Air Force, and Navy, is by far the airport's single biggest revenue stream.
But last Wednesday, a top aide for the vice president said Trump had offered "a suggestion" for Pence to stay at his property, contradicting the president's earlier denial that he "had no involvement" in the idea for Pence to stay at his Irish golf resort.
Cummings and Raskin wrote Trump has had "significant, direct, and detailed interactions with Prestwick Airport for years", including attempts to increase traffic to the airport and partnering with it in 2014 to boost tourism in the region. Is it different that if I go and stay or eat at a Marriott here or eat at the Trump.
An Air National Guard crew stopped at Trump's Turnberry resort outside Glasgow, Scotland during a spring trip from the U.S.to Kuwait. At least, once one gets past the fact that the President of the United States owns hundreds of public-facing properties around the world, has refused to follow the convention of divesting himself of them, and thus raises huge questions of propriety whenever he, any government employee, or person having business with the USA government stays there. Turnberry is only booked if other hotels are unavailable or customers specifically request it.
Congressional investigators have threatened to subpoena the Trump Administration over documents related to military lodging at the Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.
