Don Jr. and Bettina join Trump in Scotland as he golfs with Eric and MAGA lauds the president's Turnberry putt
President Donald Trump 's 'working trip' to his Scottish golf course has turned into a family affair, with Donald Trump, Jr. and his girlfriend Bettina Anderson joining the fun. The president included his younger son Eric in his golf foursome as he hit the links Saturday morning at his Turnberry golf course. That party also included the U.S. ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens and his son, according to the White House, ahead of Trump's scheduled meeting with British PM Keir Starmer. Video posted from Friday night on a pro-Trump X account gave a glimpse of the president celebrating two of his sons after Trump landed in the homeland of his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod. The video, captained as coming from inside Trump's private golf course on Scotland's western coast on a 'work weekend', features Trump asking is 'everybody good?' A crowd answers with a resounding cheer. The video shows Trump's two sons flanking him from behind, both tieless. Bettina, who started dating Trump Jr. in 2024, is standing to Don, Jr.'s left. At one point, she can be seen commenting to someone outside of the frame. The couple were also with Trump and first lady Melania Trump attending the FIFA Club World Cup event in New Jersey. The president has nominated Trump, Jr.'s ex fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle, to be the U.S. ambassador to Greece. She has gone through her Senate confirmation hearing. The Daily Mail has asked the White House for further information about which family members are accompanying Trump on the trip. None were seen traveling with him to Scotland aboard Air Force One. First lady Melania Trump is not expected on the golf-centered trip. Trump says Eric will be with him on Tuesday when he holds a ribbon-cutting event to open his new golf course in Aberdeenshire. Eric's wife Lara Trump had been considering a run for an open Senate seat in North Carolina after Trump clashed with Sen. Thom Tillis over his 'big, beautiful' bill. Days ago the president endorsed former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley in the race. Whatley and Lara Trump helmed the organization together during the last election cycle. Trump's golf round with Eric was a success, based on the reception some of his supporters are giving to a short video clip online of the president nailing a putt. 'President Trump sinks the putt while playing golf in Scotland. America's swagger on the world stage is so back,' posted Republican operative Steve Guest, a former advisor to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Added conservative podcaster Benny Johnson: 'Insane aura.' A member of Trump's golf party then raises a fist, and another gives him a fist bump. It wasn't immediately clear what score the president got on the hole by sinking the putt, which appeared to be about six to eight feet. Also getting in the golf outing was White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who flew to Scotland with Trump and a group of advisors aboard Air Force One. Her presence if the latest indication that she holds a place within Trump's inner circle. She has been one of Trump's primary defenders as the White House fields a series of difficult questions about the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Families, friends gathered at downtown Denver's Civic Center Park for entertainment, drone show on Indy Eve
For many it was a family affair at Indy Eve at Civic Center Park in Denver For many it was a family affair at Indy Eve at Civic Center Park in Denver For many it was a family affair at Indy Eve at Civic Center Park in Denver An annual Independence Day celebration in Denver brought out thousands of people, and for many Coloradans who came to Indy Eve at Civic Center Park on Thursday night, it was a family affair. That included the Whittick sisters. All four have spent every 4th of July together. "We went a few times to see the fireworks (when we were young) but daddy kept us home usually," the youngest sister told CBS Colorado. CBS Colorado reporter Tori Mason interviews the Whittick sisters on Thursday at Civic Center Park. CBS The Whitticks were one of the first to claim their spot on the lawn at Civic Center Park for the late night drone show after the gates opened in the early evening. Many, many more families followed, as well as groups of friends, couples and individuals looking to celebrate the country's freedom. And to get some yummy food to eat. And Ty Allen was there to hand it out. His food truck Mississippi Boy Catfish & Ribs was a popular one. He said eating his food "is like going to your mother's kitchen." "The food's a great celebration that goes along with (the holiday)," he said. In addition to food trucks, Indy Eve this year featured live music, circus performers, fun shopping experiences at the Night Market and that drone show after dark. CBS Colorado anchor Michael Spencer emcees onstage during Indy Eve. CBS "When you've seen so many fireworks when you get into our age, it's kind of nice to see something different," one of the Whittick sisters said. Eyes were wide across the park at the end of the night as 300 drones lit the sky. Some of the drone light formations were made to look like the Statue of Liberty and the Mustang blue horse sculpture at Denver International Airport. For the Whittick children and grandchildren, drones to celebrate Independence Day are getting to be all they know. And 50 years from now, they'll know the best spot to watch. Right in the middle of Civic Center Park. "I hope so -- that they are as close as all of us," said another Whittick sister. Indy Eve is a CBS Colorado sponsored event.
