Trump Tees Off in Scotland Amid Renewed Epstein Scrutiny

 

Former President Donald Trump was spotted golfing at his resort in Scotland this week, drawing attention not only for his swing but for the lingering questions surrounding his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump’s visit to his Turnberry golf course comes as investigations and public interest in Epstein’s network continue to intensify.
