Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump personally owns Mar-a-Lago, his private club on Florida's eastern coast. But that didn't stop the State Department, in a blog post on the United States Embassy in London's website, from touting the property.
In a markedly promotional blog post from April 5 that could eventually benefit the President's bottom line, should it spur membership or foreign visits, the embassy writes that the property has "become well known as the President frequently travels there to work or host foreign leaders."
Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, tweeted, "Yes, I am curious @StateDept. Why are taxpayer $$ promoting the President's private country club?"
