https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6394340-Trump-Prestwick-Documents.html#document/p2/a523772The New York Times released documents obtained through a Scottish Freedom of Information law that proves the Trump Organization worked to negotiate with a Glasgow-area airport to score more crews coming to President Donald Trumps resort.
Politico reporter Natasha Bertrand broke a recent story that the U.S. military routed official planes to a small airport near his Turnberry golf resort. Without the airport, Turnberry would likely lose a lot of business. Its already in difficult shape financially, losing millions.
The documents show a series of emails between Turnberry and the nearby airport. Turnberry asks the airport to recommend the Trump property to flight crews coming through the city, including military planes.
The exchange was part of a 2014 discussion, so its unclear why it wasnt until recently that Turnberry had an uptick in military flights doing a stop-over at the Trump resort.

His scams are so obvious and out in the open. The issue is that the GOP won't let anyone do anything about his corruption.
