Donald Trumps adult children reportedly cost taxpayers $140,000 in Secret Service security in the month after the clans patriarch left the White House in January. Ordinarily, family members of a president lose their security detail when they leave office. But in the case of the four Trump siblings and two of their spouses, the former president issued a directive to extend post-presidency protections by six months.
Ed. - emphasis added.
The costs, obtained by the watchdog group Citizens for Ethics, do not include security protections at Trump properties in New Jersey, Palm Beach and Briarcliff, New York. With those factored in, the total would likely be far higher, according to the group.
According to the watchdog, records reveal that the Trump children maintained a breakneck speed of travel, and racked up significant hotel and transportation bills for the Secret Service. Transport costs alone amounted to $52,296.75, and hotel costs totaled at least $88,678.39.
If that schedule is maintained, the group estimates, post-presidency protection costs could nearly $1m. The group has previously calculated that the Trump family made 12 times as many trips in three years as the Obamas made in seven.
