BEST EXPRESSED BY HIS BOOK "EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES."
GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE
BROADCAST.
BROADCAST. WELCOME BACK TO THE BROADCAST.
AKNEE THAT
AKNEE THAT ANITA, I’D LIKE TO BEGIN WITH
YOU.
YOU. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE.
AND IT COMES FROM OF ALL PLACES,
POLITICO TONIGHT.
POLITICO TONIGHT. HERE IS THE STORY.
IN EARLY SPRING OF THIS YEAR, AN
INTERNATIONAL 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 TURN
BERRY RESORT ABOUT 50 MILES
OUTSIDE GLASGOW, SCOTLAND.
SINCE APRIL THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING
WHY THE CREW ON THE C 17
MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE MADE
THE UNUSUALLY STAY, THEY HAVE
YET TO RECEIVE ANSWERS FROM THE
PENTAGON.
PENTAGON. THE INQUIRY IS PART OF A BROADER
PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED PROBE INTO
U.S. MILITARY EXPENDITURES AT
AND AROUND TRUMP PROPERTY IN
SCOTLAND.
SCOTLAND. I’M GOING TO ASK THE CONTROL
ROOM, ANITA, WHILE WE HAVE OUR
CONVERSATION TO RERUN THAT
SCROLL OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED
INVESTIGATIONS.
INVESTIGATIONS. WHEN I ASK YOU WHAT COMES OF THE
TOLL OF ALL OF THIS, JUST
TONIGHT’S STORY ADDED ON TOP OF
THE PILE.
THE PILE. >> YEAH, I MEAN, THIS IS
SOMETHING WE REALLY HAVEN’T
TALKED ABOUT.
TALKED ABOUT. YOU’RE SCROLLING THROUGH THESE
OTHER INVESTIGATIONS, WHAT WE’VE
CONTINUED TO HEAR ABOUT TRUMP
PROPERTIES FOR THE LAST TWO
YEARS IS THIS THING CALLED THE
FOREIGN EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE THAT
THE PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT BE
TAKING MONEY FROM FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS.
GOVERNMENTS. WHAT WE’VE BARELY HEARD ABOUT IS
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GET
ANY OTHER MONEY, PROFITS FROM
THE TAXPAYERS BESIDES HIS
SALARY.
SALARY. SO ALL THESE TIMES THAT MIKE
PENCE AND HIS CHILDREN AND
HIMSELF STAY AT THESE
PROPERTIES, SECRET SERVICE, THE
MILITARY, OTHER AGENCIES ARE
WILL WITH HIM AND PUTTING MONEY
INTO TRUMP HOTELS.
THIS IS A LINE OF INQUIRY WE
HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH ABOUT BUT
THESE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WANT
TO START LOOKING.
>> THESE AIR CREWS WERE WALKING
AROUND THIS RESORT FEELING ILL
AT EASE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE
CLOTHING THEY HAD AND THEY WERE
CERTAINLY NOT DRESSED FOR THE
SURROUNDINGS.
SURROUNDINGS. WILL ANYONE, FRANKO, IN THE
WHITE HOUSE BE SURPRISED BY TO
WANT’S LATEST STORY?
>> TODAY’S STORY REGARDING THE
AIRMEN IS GOING TO RAISE SOME
EYEBROWS, EVEN IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HOUSE. BUT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT’S
NEW.
NEW. IT’S NOT JUST THE AIRMAN AND
MIKE PENCE.
MIKE PENCE. WATCHDOG GROUPS HAVE BEEN
CONDUCTING FOIAS SINCE THE
BEGINNING OF THE ADMINISTRATION
REQUESTING THOUSANDS OF
DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW RECEIPTS AND
DOCUMENTS OF ALL THESE TYPE OF
INCIDENTS, YOU KNOW, SECRETARY
ROSS HAS BEEN AT THE TRUMP
HOTELS MORE THAN 20 TIMES.
PENCE HAS BEEN MORE THAN 20
TIMES.
TIMES. SECRETARY -- SEVERAL DIFFERENT
CABINET MEMBERS AS WELL AS
FAMILY HAVE BEEN THERE RAISING
QUESTIONS AS ANITA SAID, ABOUT
THE DOMESTIC EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY
GOING TO CONTINUE, I THINK, MORE
QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO COME.
>> RICK WILSON, IT’S UNABASHED.
IT’S HAPPENING SEEMINGLY IN
PLAIN SIGHT.
PLAIN SIGHT. THIS IS WHY OUR FRIEND CHRIS
MATTHEWS AT LEAST ONE NIGHT A
WEEK REFERS TO THE TRUMP FAMILY
AS THE ROMANOFFS.
>> I CAN TELL YOU, IT’S PART OF
REGULATIONS IN THE DOD THAT AIR
CREWS ARE NOT TO STAY OVERNIGHT
AT CIVILIAN FACILITIES UNLESS IT
IS MISSION ESSENTIAL.
THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO GO FROM
MILITARY TO MILITARY FACILITIES,
AND I’M PRETTY MUCH SURE THAT
STAYING AT A TRUMP GOLF RESORT
IS NEVER MISSION-ESSENTIAL FOR A
U.S. AIR FORCE OR NAVY CREW
HEADING OVER TO THE MIDDLE EAST
TO THE ACTIVE THEATER OF COMBAT
IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
THIS IS SOME OTHER ELEMENT OF
THE TRUMP GRIFT.
IT’S AN ELEMENT OF THE TRUMP
SCAM.
SCAM. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
OBVIOUSLY MANAGED TO CORRUPT
FOLKS DOWN THE CHAIN AND SENT
THE SIGNAL AT THE MINIMUM THAT
IF YOU STAY AT TRUMP REPORTERS,
MAYBE HE’LL LIKE YOU MORE.
I THINK IT’S AN EXTRAORDINARY
MOMENT WHERE WE’RE SEEING IT IN
REAL TIME THAT THEY’RE FORCING
AIRMEN TO LAND THEIR C 17s OFF
MILITARY AIRFIELDS SOMEWHERE
CLOSE TO A TRUMP RESORT IN ORDER
TO STAY THERE.
IT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE LEVEL OF
CORRUPTION.
CORRUPTION. >> RICK, YOU DO REMIND ME WE
HAVE A NETWORK OF AIR BASES WITH
NAMES LIKE AVIANO.
WE HAVE MAINTAINED WITH THE
FRENCH, BRITS, AND GERMANS FOR
THIS TYPE OF THING.
>> INDEED.
>> INDEED. I DON’T EVEN KNOW THE EXACT
NUMBER U I THINK IT’S FIVE IN
BRITAIN THAT WOULD HANDLE THE C
17 OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
SOMEHOW LANDING AT A TRUMP GOLF
RESORT IS NOT LIKE LANDING IN
BASES OPERATING IN THE U.K.
