Trump Organization charged Secret Service 'exorbitant' rates to stay in hotels

Raw Story  

Newly unearthed records show that the Trump Organization charged the United States Secret Service "exorbitant" rates to stay at their hotels as they guarded Donald Trump, according to a new report from the Washington Post. In one particularly egregious example, the records show that Trump's since-sold Washington D.C. hotel charged agents $1,185 per night to stay there, which far exceeds the approved government rate for hotel accommodations. In total, taxpayers gave the Trump Organization at least $1.4 million to house Secret Service agents on the company's properties, which Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney argued was a sign of significant corruption. "The exorbitant rates charged to the Secret Service and agents’ frequent stays at Trump-owned properties raise significant concerns about the former President’s self-dealing and may have resulted in a taxpayer-funded windfall for former President Trump’s struggling businesses," she wrote in a letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.
