AP reports official meetings alongside a visit to Trump's Doonbeg golf property
AP describes the trip as combining official talks in Dublin with attendance at the Irish Open on a golf course Trump owns. AP explicitly says some of Trump's high-profile sporting appearances and involvement in organizing events can benefit his family business; that is AP's conflict-of-interest analysis, not an adjudicated finding. AP photographs confirm Donald Trump and Eric Trump watched the tournament at Doonbeg. Reuters independently reports that the trip has hallmarks of Trump's typical weekends at his company's properties and says he is expected to help present the tournament trophy Sunday. Neither outlet reports a legal finding that Trump violated an ethics rule.
