There appears to be growing disquiet between the US president and his VP. Mike Pence's visit to Doonbeg really didn't help

in the Brexit debate in which he spoke of UK sovereignty and the need for the EU and Ireland to “negotiate in good faith” occupied minds. But back in the US it was his decision to stay in his boss’s Doonbeg hotel that dominated coverage.

The House Oversight Committee has opened investigations into whether the president benefited from the vice-president’s decision to stay in Doonbeg Pence’s entourage was about 300-strong, and figures this week showed that ground transportation costs. A letter sent to Pence by the ranking member of the Senate committee on homeland security and government affairs outlines a “conflict of interest … which creates the risk that taxpayers’ funds are being used to directly profit the President.”

Trump’s hotels and golf courses have faced particular scrutiny. Lawsuits were brought by the attorney generals of Maryland and the District of Columbia claiming that Trump had profited from foreign dignitaries staying in his hotel in downtown DC, which is located just blocks from the White House.
