Last punt for my Trump stories from this week. (i) From today, Trump's Aberdeenshire resort @TrumpScotland runs up losses of £1m, sheds staff & remains reliant on loans worth £40m+ from US president. It has yet to turn a profit in its seven year history: scotsman.com/news/trump-abe…
@TrumpScotland (ii) From last night, my excl on how a senior @scotgov minister was told *last year* of allegations Prestwick Airport is "financially subsidising" US military flights. It comes as Congress is investigating US defence payments at airport & Trump Turnberry: scotsman.com/news/scottish-…
@TrumpScotland @scotgov (iii) From Thursday, my investigation detailing allegations from multiple sources familiar with Prestwick's business that it is waiving service fees for inbound US Armed Forces flights, at a "seven figure" cost to Scots taxpayers: scotsman.com/news/prestwick…
@TrumpScotland @scotgov (iii) From Wed, my excl on how the Trump Org's plans for a major expansion of Turnberry, its flagship foreign property, have been rejected. @EricTrump wanted to build swaths of housing & luxury villas on agricultural land around the lossmaking resort: scotsman.com/news/donald-tr…
@TrumpScotland @scotgov @EricTrump (iv) From last Sat, my excl on how Prestwick Airport is editing its site to remove mentions of Turnberry as Congress turns up the heat. It came a day after I revealed Turnberry was only hotel named in pamphlets distributed to USAF crews in closed meetings: scotsman.com/news/prestwick…
@TrumpScotland @scotgov @EricTrump More to come, but if you have a story re the Trump Org's dealings in Scotland and/or issues surrounding Prestwick, please contact me in confidence with tips, leads, info, docs. My DMs are open. Encrypted email is martynmcl@protonmail.com
