In S. Florida, Trump golfs, tweets against FBI director
President Donald Trump kicked off the first full day of his Christmas holiday in Palm Beach on Saturday with a golf outing to Trump International Golf Club and returned to go on a Twitter rant against the FBI.
Soon after returning to his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach from the outing at 2 p.m., Trump launched a tweetstorm against Andrew McCabe, deputy director of the FBI, and the former director he fired in May, calling him “leakin’ James Comey.”
“How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?” Trump tweeted, referencing donations that McCabe’s wife received in her bid for Virginia State Senate.
Earlier, Trump golfed Saturday with professional golfers Daniel Berger, Jim Herman and Justin Thomas, along with Thomas’ father.
Trump arrived at Palm Beach International Airport aboard Air Force One on Friday afternoon with his younger daughter, Tiffany Trump. First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron had already been seen earlier this week in South Florida, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. And Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., addressed the Turning Point USA conference on Tuesday in West Palm Beach, just a few miles from the president’s Palm Beach estate.
It’s likely that the president will be in South Florida through New Year’s Day, based on restrictions on area flights the Federal Aviation Administration has issued.
