Trump tour horndogs get booted
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.
