Trump tour horndogs get booted

- Elizabeth Elizalde

THREE U.S. military service members were pulled from their White House duties after allegation­s surfaced of improper contact with foreign women during President Trump’s Asia tour.

The members, who worked for the White House Communicat­ion Agency, allegedly violated their curfews during the President’s trip to Vietnam earlier this month, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The agency provides secure communicat­ions to the President, vice president and other officials. Vietnam was one of Trump’s stops during his 12-day tour of Asia. Service members are supposed to report their contacts for security reasons.

A Defense Department spokesman confirmed to The Post that the Pentagon is investigat­ing the members’ behavior overseas.

“We are aware of the incident, and it is currently under investigat­ion,” the spokesman said.

The soldiers could lose their security clearances or face courtmarti­als if found guilty, the newspaper reported.

In August, service members tasked with protecting Vice President Pence’s communicat­ions team on a trip to Latin America were reassigned after bringing women back to their hotel while in Panama City, ABC News reported.

Pence visited Panama, Colombia, Argentina and Chile on his southern swing.
