President Donald Trump’s golf resort in Ireland slapped extra security hired during his June visit with a bill of over $100,000.
A newly surfaced copy of the bill sent by the resort to law enforcement working overtime shows questionable charges including $975 for extra coffee and over $15,000 for snacks.
Trump has previously stated that his resorts are easier for law enforcement to secure, a defense he has repeatedly used to justify his administration’s stays at his resorts during overseas travel.
The large contingent of security officers working overtime cost the country over 7.4 million Euros ($8.2 million).
On Wednesday, Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold tweeted out a copy of the two-page bill dated June 6 given to police by the Doonbeg resort.
When @realdonaldtrump made a side trip to his Irish golf club this summer, dozens of Irish cops were sent to protect him.
Notably, Fahrenthold highlights, police were charged 875 Euros ($975) for “additional tea and coffee due to inclement weather.”. »
