The Trump Organization on some occasions charged the Secret Service more than five times the government rate to stay at Donald Trump-owned properties while the agency was protecting him and his family, according to documents obtained by Congress.

According to the records the Secret Service has since provided the oversight committee, Maloney wrote Monday, "the Trump Organization charged the Secret Service a nightly rate in excess of the government per diem rate at least 40 times from the beginning of the Trump Administration through September 15, 2021. In several instances, the rates charged were more than three times the per diem rate.

A US secret service agent stands guard as President Donald Trump speaks during a rally at Prescott Regional Airport in Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 19, 2020.about how much the Secret Service was being charged by the Trump Organization, Eric Trump said in a statement: "We provide the rooms at cost and could make far more money renting them to members or guests.

Maloney wrote that there were two gaps in what the Secret Service had provided the committee, however: data on what the agency paid when staying at overseas Trump Organization properties and data on four trips to Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

Criminal

That's for using the properties 140 toilets costing $10k each.

Surprise surprise!!

Karma

well, he is a grifter, liar, narcissist thief so of course he did

Just another Democrat fake story

shyredmd Committee says? Records prove!

Wow that’s the nail in the coffin. I don’t care about $50 billion of my tax dollars going to some war no one wants, but $1m for secret service to have lodging while protecting the president is bad!

I think they paid for it using these spending bills. And when they did. They got some change.

I'm sure the FBI will get there very best people on this!!

More lies

In those hotels he probably lost money! Do you see what there paying in NYC to house the migrants in hotels! Go away

They are suppose to stay at MAL for $200 a night? Adorable. Now go back to your Quality Inn and get a donut before they put away the Continental Breakfast

GOP GOPLeader FoxNews Hey losers how about your cult leader stealing money from the govt?

He is a garden variety grifter! Anyone with half a brain can see that. His whole family participate in his grift and lies! T%he family that robs together, should go to jail together!

10% for the big man.

This is all water under the bridge. There are bigger issues at hand to worry about. The economy. Crime

If it wasn't allowed, why was it paid. Remember, Trump did not control those properties. If he did, you would accuse him of violating the emoluments clause of the constitution.

Biden spent $ 50,000 to fly 70 miles to vote in Deleware. He could've mailed his ballot.

The documents from the committee are flawed. Did you notice different GSA rates for same timeframe and zip code? Plus, what is the room rate for regular guest? Plus, let’s see how much “grift” - $1,000 per day above GSA rate x 4 years x 125 days per year = NOT VERY MUCH!!

The walls are closing in... 🤣🤣🤣

'But he was donating his pay to charity.' People are so naive. And our government just paid it; that is the real travesty here

Has Biden donated his salary like Trump yet?

Of course they did. Orange Humpty Dumpty was a used car salesman of a President. Oh and he was a criminal. LockHimUpAlready

Trump directed government to businesses he owned. A black and white conflict of interest. Yet this is the first time I have seen even an Indian cat reference to it

Okay, so now what happens? Nothing. Trump scams the taxpayers, media reports on it, voters are outraged, Trump walks away unscathed. Rinse/lather/repeat. Call me when they throw these criminals in jail.

Why not pay him more+... his outfit have always been scammers.

They received over the top hospitality

But Trump didn’t even take a pay check.

And?

Trump properties are 1,000 times nicer than the hotels you can book using the GSA rates. Since when do government leaders travel like us peasants? What do we pay for Pelosi and her frequent trips back and forth to CA?

Isn’t that price gouging

.. and this surprises you?

More midterm damage control. The guy hasn’t been president this decade

So he received $ from his business while in office, isn’t that a violation?😉

Hasn't this been known for years? How is this news?

Pay it back! It's just plain 'robbery!'

This protection of grift and fraud has to stop

Truly a False story. Stop printing lies.

And?

Give me a break

So r we getting that money back? Probably not cuz raping the US government is wat he does best

Biden has been in Delaware more than Trump went golfing. Also Biden is using government monies to build structures on his privately owned property.

95% of the Trump Administration need to be heals accountable for enabling a mad man to destroy US Democracy

Why is everyone reporting this as new News. I remember hearing about it while he was still a horrible President!

Why are you reporting this towards Mid Term elections. This is all politics.

Lies. The reason why the media is crazy like this is because they know Trump chances of winning are high. Biden is covering for Hunter’s corruption in Ukraine while turning America to a banana republic. Biden is corrupt and autocratic. He fights his opponents. More like Nixon

Donald the grifter

US is a scam 🤡 show and our collapse will be merciful

Trump needs to go to jail. 💙💙💙💙

Good. Business is business. Obama was the most expensive potus to date fyi

This truth didn’t age well. “If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free...it saves a fortune because if they were to go to a hotel across the street, they’d be charging them $500 a night, whereas, you know we charge them, like $50.” - Eric Trump

No surprise there.

Trump was the first African president the US ever had.

This was news when he was still in office when he got caught making Airforce planes land in Scotland so they had to stay at his resort

Of course, ABC News is going to follow this up with similar reports on Obama and Biden Secret Service costs.

It took them this long to figure it out! Who is working the financial arm of government?

This really smells like very old news.

How much is Pfizer making from Pfizergate? Come on ABC show some integrity cover the biggest story on the planet

Grifters gonna grift, all the time, especially when their the President.

🙄🙄

Now we know why Donald Trump paid himself $1.00 annually while in the White House. He recouped the money many times over by overcharging for his hotel rooms. 🙄

And so now we’ve paid for a guarded fortress on the beach for joe…with a $40 million dollar fence….and AirForce one flights every weekend!🤷‍♀️

Corrupt! He should have to pay it back, pig.

But the MAGAs love that Trump would tell them that he was going to fk them …. and he did. No lip stick, no dinner .. He didn’t even spit on his d*ck!

Shady Gravy .. Don The Con .. that's how you fleece that American taxpayer .. I'll reiterate as I stated in the past .. a true used car salesman that would pimp his own daughter for the right price ...

Trumpflation is 500% Bidenflation is 8.8% Alrighty then.

Fake news should show us evidence of comparison with other Presidents invoices.

Grifters gonna grift, douchebags gonna be a douche

Does this really surprise anyone?

Hmmm…and what was going in during those Obama years? When so many had to be sent home due to what?

Fleecing America is a favorite pastime of the Trumps.

We read about the Secret Service expensive stays at trump properties at the time but the people’s lawyer, the Attorney General, let us down by not stopping it.

Why are any of us surprised they did this. That's what these people do.Why can't we charge them for this.Gotta be some kinda law to charge his companies with something

The grifter, again

The greedy scoundrel. 🤭

Wonder why mainstream media isn't running the story where Hunter Biden rented the house in Malibu on the beach for 10 grand a week and the FBI and the secret service had to rent the house next door for the same price. Strange how you don't want to talk about that.

kayleighmcenany always on the grift

And Biden's open borders are costing Americans $10 billion and 400 Americans dying each day due to drugs pouring in from Biden's open borders. American blood on Biden's hands

The Secret Service had to go to Congress in 2017 to ask for more money because they needed it for the Trump family. Also Trump is the only president in history to give his adult children six extra months of Secret Service protection. They were all scammers

You smell that? Smells like desperation.

Yesterday I saw a bunch of 'Biden has been in Delaware more than Trump went to Trump properties where is the equal outrage' stories, none of which added the context that every time trump left the WH he charged the secret service $$$ for the trip.

Grifters gonna grift 🤷‍♀️

This was in the news over a year ago! Why has it gone nowhere? Maybe the media could hold a train of thought for more than a millisecond!

and? absolutely nobody seemed to have a problem with it…even now🤷‍♀️ LockHimUpAlready

IT'S BEYOND F'ING TIME THROW THE ENTIRE F'ING drumpf CRIMINAL FAMILY IN PRISON! & we better recoup EVERYTHING that drumpf & his family of LYING POS GRIFTERS STOLE!

Wait a second. The swamp never got drained?! Say it ain’t so.

you mean to tell me his presidential salary wasn't gonna cover this? 🙄

Cuz this wasn't already reported on ad nauseum. 🙄

Trump Org. charged Secret Service as much as $1,185 to stay at Trump hotelDuring Donald Trump's presidency, Trump hotels charged the Secret Service nightly rates as high as $1,185 per room, more than five times the recommended government rate. But Hunter Biden is the problem? So? Nobody is ever going to do anything about it. Why not mention that Trump also charged the government for his own lodging at his own hotels. People are under the impression that Trump was good for donating his salary but the amount he made off the government was insane.
