TOPEKA — Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins continued to blast President Barack Obama this week over efforts he has now abandoned to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

But she would not say specifically whether she would endorse Republican Donald Trump to be the next president.

Speaking with reporters on a conference call Tuesday, Jenkins said she does not plan to attend the Republican National Convention next month in Cleveland, and she remained vague about her support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

“I have never been to a Republican National Convention in my life and I will not be attending this one,” Jenkins said. “I don’t support (presumptive Democratic nominee) Hillary Clinton, and I don’t agree with everything Donald Trump says. We obviously have some differences.”

The purpose of Jenkins’ press call was to highlight her recent trip to Guantanamo Bay naval base and reiterate her opposition to the Obama administration’s attempts to close the facility.

Jenkins recently escorted a group of Leavenworth-area officials on a trip to Guantanamo Bay to highlight her opposition to Obama’s efforts to close the detention facility that houses suspected “enemy combatants” captured in other countries.

Joining her on the trip were State Sen. Steve Fitzgerald and State Reps. Tony Barton and Willie Dove, all Republicans who represent parts of Leavenworth County. Also on the trip was Leavenworth Mayor Larry Dedeke and Leavenworth County officials.

The group flew to Guantanamo Bay on June 17 and returned later that same day.

Although the White House recently backed off of its plans to close the detention facility by executive order, Jenkins said the trip was still important to ensure that neither the Obama administration nor the next administration tries to reconsider.

“And now they have more information and the tools they need in the event that they need to pursue legal action at some point down the road to prevent detainees from being transferred to Leavenworth,” Jenkins said. “As we’ve seen before, it is not unlike this president to say one thing and do another.”

As recently as February, Obama had asked Congress to approve a plan to close the detention facility and transfer the remaining 91 prisoners there, either to other countries or to prisons located inside the United States.

The U.S. military prison at Fort Leavenworth has been identified as one potential site for relocating detainees.

But that plan drew little or no support from Congress where both the House and Senate voted last week to block any such move, and the White House has since backed away from the plan.

Jenkins, however, said she remains suspicious of the president.

“As you know, we’ve gotten language every year passed to prevent the transfer, but that may not have been enough to help us sleep at night because the president has broken the law in other areas, and so we just continue to keep a close eye,” she said.
