The House Oversight committee is investigating whether President Trump has been bolstering his luxury golf resort in Scotland with the defense department after learning that the military spent $11million on refueling at its closest airport and air force guards spent the night there during a routine mission to the Middle East. Politico reported on Saturday that the investigation began in April, when members of the committee learned about the overnight stop and fuel stops. Since October 2017, the defense department has logged 629 requests for fuel purchases at Prestwick Airport - the tiny airport which is closest to Turnberry, Trump's money-losing resort. In total, the purchases cost $11million and it marks a 'substantial' increase in the amount US military has spent at the airport since Trump took office. In previous years, it is reported, they would stop at airbases in Europe, where the fuel is cheaper. The team could have stopped at Lakenheath Airbase, the U.S. Air Forces in Europe's only F-15 fighter wing, which is 380 miles away.As the news emerged on Saturday, democrats including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for the president to be impeached. Coupled with the fuel purchases is an overnight stay at Turnberry in spring when five air force guards spent the night there on their way to Kuwait. The resort is 20 miles from the airport, where the five-man team from the 176th maintenance squadron refueled. At around $160-a-night, the five star hotel is also considerably more expensive than the dozens of alternatives which are both closer to the airport and independent from the Trump family.

Typically, military bosses opt for cheaper options like Marriott or Hilton.Turnberry is so much more luxurious than their normal overnight stops that the troops' daily allowance for meals was not enough to cover food at the resort. It remains unclear how much the military paid for the rooms the five military personnel stayed in and, according to Politico, the Pentagon has ignored requests for the information. 'The Defense Department has not produced a single document in this investigation. 'The committee will be forced to consider alternative steps if the Pentagon does not begin complying voluntarily in the coming days,' said one democrat. The committee's concern is compounded by the fact that despite Prestwick Airport losing money since 2013 and now being sold by the Scottish government, the amount of money the US military is spending there has increased. 'Despite Prestwick Airport's struggling operat
