These trips included a golfing tour of Trump’s Scottish courses by his son, Eric, and dozens of Trump Organisation customers, who flew in via private jet as part of an upmarket golfing excursion marketed by the Trump Org as the ‘Ultimate Links Tour’.

This story is based on a dump of documents I was sent this week in a ZIP file by the US Secret Service, more than three years and three months after I filed requests about expenditure at Trump’s Scottish firms under US FOIA legislation. Better late than never and all that.

Here’s an example of the disclosed records. This one covers Eric & Lara Trump’s Turnberry trip. You’ll see that Donald Trump’s resort received $8,872 (£6,610) from the US public purse to pay for his son & daughter-in-law’s protection while attending to private Trump Org business. pic.twitter.com/HD3h42T5S4
