President Donald Trump said Wednesday he had nothing to do with Vice President Mike Pence staying at his resort in Ireland or with Attorney General William Barr booking a ballroom at his Washington hotel for a holiday party.
"People like my product," Trump said. "What can I tell you? I can't help it."
Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff, told reporters on Tuesday that the decision to stay at the Trump property was made at the president's "suggestion."
