SECRET SERVICE RECORDS CONTRADICT TRUMP’S CLAIM ON DORAL G-7
Secret Service Records Contradict Trump's Claim on Doral G-7 - CREW
"CREW received records from the United States Secret Service that, along with emails from Doral city officials, undermine President Trump’s dubious claim that members of the Secret Service wanted the 2020 G-7 Summit to be hosted at Trump’s Doral resort in Miami. The reality appears to be quite different, with the Secret Service instead expressing reluctance, saying “the property does present[] some challenges,” followed by a redaction that implies security concerns. The records also seem to show that Doral was added for consideration at the last minute, saying “
y departure, they had already cut two (California and North Carolina) and added Miami on the back end.” Taken together, the records that CREW obtained call into question nearly every aspect of Trump’s justification of his choice."

We all know the story by now. Trump's Doral property has been struggling financially. So he decided to hold the G-7 summit there despite the obvious conflict of interest. He had Mick Mulvaney stand in front of the media and lie his ass off by telling the press Doral was the perfect place to hold the event in the opinion of the Secret Service. Trump also lied multiple times in promoting this untruth.
So.........we have the Liar-in-Chief having the nerve to try to corruptly hold an international event at his own property for his personal financial benefit, telling lies about it, having his staff tell lies about it, corrupting the selection process, and ultimately having to relent to public pressure because of the OMG! out in the open corruption.
If this were attempted by a Dem prez the congressional investigation would still be front page news. But it isn't for Trump because there are just too many other scandals of greater magnitude for this incident to stay in the news cycle or for Congress to spend any time on it.
Like so many of the daily scandals and or buffoonery produced by the most corrupt admin in our history this one is long forgotten. Things that would dog most admins for months and months have no staying power, they are lost in the constant churn of chaos. So much chaos it can be disorienting..........and that's the goal.
