Nigel Farage tweeted about being in the USA (Picture: Adrian Smith) The decision to allow Nigel Farage entry to the US to attend a Donald Trump rally is being investigated. Despite all but essential travel from the UK being banned during the coronavirus lockdown, Mr Farage was given an exemption by US officials under a ‘national interest’ clause. Bennie G Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat who chairs the committee on homeland security, has requested all documents and information that led to the decision and said the trip raised ‘troubling questions’. He wrote in a letter to Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of the department of homeland security (DHS): ‘The decision of the Trump Administration to admit Mr Farage to the United States to enable him to attend a campaign rally at a time when most travel from the United Kingdom to the US has been suspended raises numerous troubling questions, as does the claim that such travel was in the national interest.’ It comes after US officials confirmed Mr Farage was given an exemption, despite speculation his friend the President helped him swerve the travel ban.

Nigel Farage pictured at the Donald Trump rally holding a Make America Great Again hat (Picture: daveweigel / Twitter) ‘After conducting a thorough review of the relevant facts and circumstances, DHS determined Mr Farage’s travel to be permissible under section 2 (a)(xi) of the presidential proclamation: any alien whose entry would be in the national interest, as determined by the secretary of state, the secretary of homeland security, or their designees authorising Mr Farage to board his flight.’ Mr Farage was pictured at the Trump rally on Saturday night, holding a red Make America Great Again hat. The US Customs and Border Protection agency has blocked entry to the country since March for ‘most individuals, other than United States citizens and lawful permanent residents, who have been physically present within the United Kingdom, excluding overseas territories outside of Europe, or the Republic of Ireland within 14 days of travel to the United States’. It comes after Mr Farage was dropped by radio station LBC earlier this month due to his negative comments about the Black Lives Matter protests taking place across the country.

Demonstrations first began in the US following the death of George Floyd, 46, who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Mr Farage sparked anger when he compared the BLM movement to the Taliban, telling Good Morning Britain the removal of statues commemorating slave traders was ‘the most appalling example of mob rule’. He was also visited by police in May for breaching lockdown rules after he travelled from his home in Westerham, Kent to Dover claiming to be reporting on migrants.
