A government watchdog has concluded that the Secret Service has paid around $2 million of taxpayer money directly to Trump Organization properties for stays and other use-of-facilities fees.
The Secret Service has spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funds in payments made directly to Trump Organization properties, an analysis by a government watchdog group has found.
“However, these records appear to be incomplete,” CREW said in a recent blog post on its website, noting that “previously published records, by CREW and others, which do not appear to be included in the documents, account for thousands more in Secret Service spending at Trump properties, bringing the likely grand total closer to $2 million.”
The federally-funded expenditures essentially amounted to the agency “literally paying Donald Trump for the right to protect him and his family,”“Of course presidents and their families need to be protected,” Moniz and Libowitz continued. “But Trump is ostensibly a billionaire … and these were not personal residences.” The duo noted that any money spent to protect Trump and his family at Trump Organization properties directly financially benefited the former president.
