Trump Children Cost Taxpayers $238,000+ for Secret Service Room Rentals at Trump Properties

HeadlineOct 13, 2020

The Washington Post reports the Trump Organization has charged the Secret Service at least $238,000 for room rentals at Trump properties when accompanying Trump’s children and their families on business trips. The Washington Post has tallied over $1.2 million in Secret Service charges since Trump took office. Most of these are related to Trump’s own travel, including for room rentals at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club this spring while it was shuttered because of the pandemic.
