tRump's spokeswoman needs to get her story straight on the Turnberry money...

According to the story on CNN, "This story is absolutely false," Trump Organization spokeswoman, Amanda Miller told the New York Times.

"We bought Trump Turnberry without any financing and put tens of millions of dollars of our own money into the renovation, which began in 2014. At no time was any money needed to finance the purchase or the refurbishment of Trump Turnberry."

Yet according to a story on BBC.com in October 2016, tRump spokespeople claimed: In a statement, a spokesman for the Trump Organisation said: "The accounts submitted to Companies House reflect the financial year from 2015 and the first phase of the renovation, which included the clubhouse, the Wee Links pitch and putt and selected function spaces within the hotel.

"To date, the total expenditure equals around £150m, with the large majority of the work taking place through the year of 2016."
