Former President Donald Trump's company charged the Secret Service as much as $1,185 per night at its properties despite claims they'd stay free or 'at cost,' House panel says

The Trump Organization charged the Secret Service “exorbitant rates” – upwards of $1.4 million over four years – to protect the former President and his family at properties they owned, according to documents released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday.

Charging his protective detail for lodging at his own properties was a controversial practice when Trump was in office and has continued in his post-presidency. Maloney also notes that her committee has been seeking a full accounting of the Secret Service’s expenditures at Trump-owned properties for more than two years but still has not received complete information on nightly rates or the total amount the agency spent, which “appears to exceed $1.4 million of taxpayer money.

What about Biden

TRUMP

Secret Service paying over $30K per month for Malibu mansion to protect Hunter Biden The luxury rental property has 'gorgeous ocean views,' according to its listing. ByJosh Margolin,John Santucci andSoo Rin Kim April 4, 2022, 4:54 AM ET • 11 min read

Oh pleaseVP Biden received 2 federal contracts from Dept of Homeland Security for “lease/rental of other federal buildings”Contracts cover 4- 1-11 to Sept. 30, 2017,; they add up to $171,600 This was $2,200 per mo Secret Service PD to rent a cottage on Bidens’ Wil, Del property

They had the very nicest rooms! With hot-tubs, stocked mini-bar, in-room massage service! The very best for my boys! They were very happy!

HydeBlizzardbox Trump's 'resort' is so shitty he had to bring gov employees in just to fill the rooms. Hope they brought sleeping bags and bedbug repellant. And no, I haven't stayed there (I have standards), but given all the pics of human garbage at events there, I know a dump when I see one l.

HydeBlizzardbox It’s all about the ArtoftheGrift … line the coffers…

Incompetency is the bench mark for Socialist Democrats. So as long as your part of the party, your incompetency is irrelevant.

Who cares, let's worry about now

O PLEASE Biden received 2 federal contracts Department of Homeland Security for“lease/rental of other federal buildings.”contracts cover April 1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2017;they add up to $171,600.$2,200 per month Secret Service paid to rent Cottage on Bidens Wilmington DE, property

It was a conflict of interest at the start! Why was he able to get away with this? What government rate is that per night?

So what? CNN caused Americans to vote for Biden and to ignore checks and balances created to ensure election integrity.

.

Geez when are american taxpayers gonna quit paying this guys $$

Yeah... but Hunter Biden sells his paintings for $50k a pop and he's a crack head

Sad but true.

How much was Biden charging for his protection at home?

Who believes the house panel

BORDER & FENTANYL CRISIS, CRIME, INFLATION, MILITARY UNPREPAREDNESS, IRAN SHIPPING DRONES TO RUSSIA IN UKRAINE, HUNTER BIDEN SCANDAL! START REPORTING THE NEWS CNN!💩

Not sure why I keep getting CNN alerts fakenews

So, what you're really saying is: liar, grifter, tax dollar theft?

My question is how much money has Nancy P., Chaney and their bunch WASTED trying to make sure Trump can never hold office again.

And how much tax-payers money was spent flying around in Air Force One by trump to go golfing?

The city of El Paso is spending $300,000 dollars a day to send migrants to other cities and the Federal government is paying the bill with tax dollars. Now wich one should be in the news?

Once a liar always a liar

It's sad when ppl live only for today without the realization that things of this life is of no use to their soul. Life is about the advancement of the soul and we advance by being compassionate and kind to others

This information is partially false or misleading information. Trump was not in charge of the company during his presidential term.

Ben benieuwd wat deze mensen dan verdienden!

Better reporting would clarify whether that price was per room (or not) before a better opinion can be reached/offered. I see neither yet.

CNN you're news reports are a joke. I'm no trump supporter, but do some real reports.

This story Reaks of last minute Voting demographic desperation, sounds like ' it has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation'

How quickly they forget -

Good for the Trump organization! I'm sure the DOJ has cost the Trump organization much much more for all the false accusations.

So? Let me guess that's illegal lmfao 🤣

We all knew that was a sham from the start

Seems reasonable to me. I'd expect one night at that resort to cost minimum $600. Multiply that by the number of agents. Let's say 15 agents, that's 9,000. So at cost would be like $77/night per. I fail to see the issue, but then again, it is CNN...

CNN still talking about Trump. Why don't you talk about something that affects us NOW! Like how much more us Americas are paying for gas, groceries, interest rate hikes etc...

Hahahahaah, CNN please. How about that expense fence system around Joe Bidens house? PS, last time I checked it is against the law to provide services for free. I recall he did say this and he was told it is not allowed by law. Where is your research to show that as well.

It's incredible that 'the USA' just stands for this?! If there's anyone that has been and still is above the law it's Donald Trump. Incredible!!! What is the point of having to obey to the law when Trump & his family can just walk away?!

They need get him so bad he will have his day he is getting older

So they are mad they had to pay their way?

Go Mr. Trump! What a smart business man.

How did this place dodge Ian? …asking for a friend…..🤨😖

He a lier and thief what did you expect

Didn't we already know this?

Why are they being charged anyway? They are there protecting trump

Most of us are smart enough to know that anything CNN posts, publishes or broadcasts is definitely left leaning and probably an outright lie.

Considering rooms are $2k a night plus a $200k initial fee and $15k in dues THAT IS A DEAL!!

How many billion have been given laundered in Ukraine? Do real work. 🤡

OK CNN like we really care but we know you do because you don't report news worthy articles . $1,185 a night was probably the food bill to feed them would you want to feed them step up to the plate and open up your checkbook instead of complaining.

He and his friends took all they could and did all they could to benefit themselves and made 'some' people believe he cared about the country!

Just 1 more reason why he can't ever b in charge again. He screws any body all the time if it makes him a buck. AGAIN ,DOJ, N.Y. STATE, GEORGIA, ARIZONA and all the rest with lawsuits ,it's time 4 him 2 pay up and do time 4 his crimes. VOTE BLUE

What a lier that got no guts to be truthful

cnn is a pathetic propaganda media that is on a downward spiral,, 😁

It's weird how the same party that is so against taxes are defending this. Yet they will fight and claw to end school lunches and take food out of children's mouths. He charged the American people a premium so the ss could have the 'honor' of protecting him. That is your money!

God bless Trump 🙌 🙏

2 G

And don't forget how Trump doubled and more than doubled prices to members and guests right after he was elected. At all of his resorts.

CNN....Clinton News Network is at it again.

Give it up

And yet how much have we spent on the Clinton's and obamas

Everything he does is to better himself and the only thing he values is money and perceived status.

That's cheap rate some hotels cost more than that.

It's a risk for any president to stay at any hotel. They shut down as much of the hotel as possible. To keep a president safe. The hotel losses money. Hotel never makes money.

Who cares...Democratic Party acts like a bunch of children 🤔 GROW UP !!! WE DONT CARE.. WE JUST CARE HOW HE IS AS A PRESIDENT.. A GREAT ONE...TRUMP 2024....

F CNN

Maybe that was cost.. I’ve stayed at hotels with standard room rates were at $800 a night.

Horrible, sleazy, he has the best beds ,to go along with his best words, the best over charging the taxpayers. great guy

Wonder what it will cost the secret service per night when he stays in a prison cell?

When are we going to end this nightmare.. and he's still a free man

FAKE NEWS

He didn't take a presidential salary. He's a literal billionaire. I don't think he's in it for that little amount of money. Why does CNN care about this when the US has thousands of more important problems?

Fake news

Kanye West Quotes - 'Go open up a book and read yourself to death!'

Yes, this reported before Biden took office and it was a controversy for about a week then disappeared. Nothing was done then nothing will be done now.

Just like everything else Trump does that’s Criminal/Illegal, NOTHING is going to happen to him! Just MORE News Reports of Trump’s Lies and Corruption. Trump has NO FEAR of Garland or the DOJ. And why should he? They NEVER hold him Accountable or Punish him for Anything he does!

Nobody cares

They probably watched porn movies?

Sounds like what that trash would do

Please ask Nancy pelosi why her son in law Michiel Vos was posing with this animal on Jan 6th!

Who cares

So what?

You all can't be concerned you sending billions to Ukarine, spending millions on illegals but Trump was supposed to pick up his own tab?

I am not surprised, that's who the American people choose.

He was draining the swamp, or more precisely, government coffers!

How much did Clinton and Obama charge..just wondering

Is $1185 too much? His properties are high end.

How about proof of what the previous 5 president's bills looked like for their stays adjusted for inflation. you never once mentioned cost of fuel the secret service used under either Bush for example. Agenda

GD that family. Since the patriarch immigrated to the USA, that family has stolen money from people individually and all of us collectively. With no shame or conscience. DJT and his offspring are a bunch of polished turds.

It's so wierd how CNN does report the news to its viewers. Almost like they are telling them what to think.

Nice

Have you checked their consumption from the minibar and the use of the porn channels...? 😜

Why is the US trying to 'aly' Korea, a victim of Japan's atrocities such as military comfort women, forced labor, forced labor and disappearance, while taking away all of Korea's wealth during the 40 years of Japanese colonial rule?

Why are anyone surprise by this trump and his family don't give a F who it is their all about getting money any way they can.

We knew he was making tax payers pay for his properties when it was happening. Government let it happen.

Didn't we already know this?

these people are busy ... Wrecking the country...

So what

CNN....

'The (membership) fee returned to $200,000 in January 2017 with $14,000 annual dues. Overnight guests paid up to $2,000 a night.' The secret service is free to stay wherever they wish when off duty. There is a motel 6 just down the road. Who decided they wanted to stay there?

He took no paycheck, but he made sure he got paid.

Why haven't we heard about tax-payer money for Hunter Biden's rent of a malibu mansion costing $30,000 a month?

Everyone knows trump is a lying swindler

Theres a reason you guys have the lowest ratings. You guys are inaccurate and not factual.

QUE ETICA QUE MORAL POR PARTE DE ESTE TRAIDOR CUESTIONADO POR CORRUPCION TODA SU VIDA Y COMPLEMENTADO AHORA MAS QUE NUNCA POR LA SUPREMACIA BLANCA REPUBLICNAN ACABANDO CON LA MEJOR DEMOCRACIA QUE LA HUMANIDAD HAYA CONOCIDO

'Sad Sign of The Times.'

So what

At a dangerous place in the world and all you people can do is keep on hating. How's it working out for you?

how many agents there? 8 or so? he couldnt charge more then the government rate is this is more propaganda to deflect from sleepy Joes failures...

What a douchebag

If Clinton,Obama or Biden had charged the Secret Service $1200/room per night to stay at a hotel they personally owned, Hannity, Carlson,Ingraham, Pirro,etc would have brought it up Every. Single. Night.

He's just a pathological lie and criminal. We've always known that about that un-patriotic POS.

Jan 6th must be dying down, nothing good in the documents he 'stole', so this is next.

Secret service was free… he charged for the POTUS and anyone staff to stay there… or at least that will be his argument

Lmao it doesn't matter what 45 does. He's never in the wrong in eyes of his followers. He could literally kill the person closest to them and they would find a way to justify it. Dude is a criminal.

Imagine that!

Omg what a disaster 😴

And they still covered hard for his ass on Jan 6

- 1. this is not 'breaking news' .. u r YEARS late 2. Your entire company should crumble to nothing, no one trusts your BS and lies. ..(besides ppl who are too stoopid ) 3. Propaganda F'ery sponsore by who ? The evil WEF ?

Excellent. Capitalism at its finest!!!

So Trump and his company lied. What else is new?

Trump makes Madoff look like a Girl Scout cookie salesman

No different than previous presidents look at the Clintons. Typical biased reporting

Gee. Biden has only cost us $9 trillion plus inflation for only two years. How much more can we afford?

Does anybody who doesn’t care somehow suddenly care now

Too funny- they are there to protect the president and they are getting charged? Only crooked Trump could do such a thing.

We never learn. Knew this for years now and have done nothing. Why don’t the govt take months before paying these charges?

Everybody is up at arms. Do you know how much properties charge the government for POTUS visit? Do you know how much they charged for the Obamas and now the Bidens? They used to have to book 2-3 rms for the Clintons b/c Hillary was so picky. Fake outrage 🙄

Oh CNN you forgot to report this! ArrestHunter FJB

How does this compare to Secret Service spending for Obama, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Carter, ...

How many ss does he have around him, if its say 10 that's only 110 bucks a night each. Bargain

CNN and the mystical trump tapes series 21 episodes 3

Pathetic Dem apparatus CNN has 0 positive accomplishments to report because of disastrous democrat policy performance

YAWN!

I doubt Senators or Representatives want to be invested for their expenses.

Trump kids charged secret service for their travel cost too. They never paid for air or Hotels.

Another lie from the world's biggest liar . Google , are you keeping track ? If his lips r moving he's lying ! 💜 in 22

Don't you just love how CNN and its' partners, the Democrats don't bother to mention how many SS members for the rate charged.

😂CNN busting out that old hateful news.

Who do you think has to pay for all of this?

Good, no we are sending billions to Ukraine and that’s not getting us anywhere

It’s like calling the fire department, then charging them a cover at the door to come in and put out the fire. Secret Service should have said “Never mind, just call us if you need anything and we’ll be here asap.”

Lol

Fox news how come your not following this

We can't keep up with your bullshit CNN

“Claims”? Also, how much is the SS paying to protect Hunter from crack dealers and hookers that get diseases from him?

So maybe you should continue to talk about this instead of how many times Biden actually worked from home. Not golf, worked.

Wait…do we still provide him and his fam with SS? He’s charging them?

Everything he ever did in office was to line his own pockets. Everything.

More CNN lies

How was this allowed to happen? As an American I would like this thieving bastard to pay us back for stealing from us.

What did you expect from him?

That is absolutely disgusting. With Trump everything is about money. If he can crook you out a dollar he will do it.

This media bellyaching about an extremely small amount of money is nonsense. Trump chose not to collect a presidential salary.

Genius! He knows how to finesse the system

Did anybody think it was for free This is Trump we are talking about . . . GrifterInChief TrumpCrimeFamily NoFlyListThem LockThemUp

Trump steals from USA readily by overcharging.

Who paid for this bill?

And the secret service keeps his secrets... it's tax payers money so they didn't care. Collusion...

Did anyone in their right mind believe that laying bastard would actually give anyone anything free - and is anyone in the government going to do anything about it?

Trump lied? That’s weird as he promised he’d never lie to us.

Always grifting, always conning always lying…

BREAKING NEWS?

And?

Donald trump's need return of money 💰💰💰 for charged the Secret Service $ 1,185 per night is ridiculous

Of course he did…

Yet another crime Merrick garland refuses to prosecute FireMerrickGarland

Think about how much money he lost because he wasn’t running the TWO, and he donated his salary. It’s all break even at the end of the day really.

Trump lied for money

Thanks to the Presidency, Trump “might” have finally become a Real “Billionaire “😀😀😀😀

Grifters gonna grift.

So? Biden built a wall around his home at taxpayer expense.

Lock him up!

Lol....lies ...all he does is lie

A Trump lying and grifting? Shocking stuff.

“The committee said the Trump Organization charged the Secret Service more than the government rate at least 40 times from January 2017 to September 2021.”

Really Is this such a Surprise Cmon people he was only in this for his own pocket. Overseas he charged the $600 a night in Scotland

Could you just tell me when he is in jail doing life.

Trump charged Secret Service ' exorbitant rates ' at his hotels , records show

How crazy-priced was room service?

The American people were charged “exorbitant rates” to protect a 2-bit phoney and his whiney family. I want a refund!

Magits don’t care.

The definition of a true piece of crap human.

Bill him for the overpayments. Lord knows, the government knows how to do that.

Sickof hearing all the daily outrage! PROSECUTE, CONVICT AND JAIL THIS WORTHLESS GRIFTER!

We were all dumb enough to pay him to be president

Why would anyone be surprised?

Honestly, I am tired of all the shit that Trump has done illegally and he is still prancing around free and spouting his shit. Let me know when they lock him up. Any one of us would have been locked up for doing a fraction of what he has done. What a joke. Lock him up already!!

Grifter gotta grift

And that surprises anyone? 🙄 duh

Thanks for the fun facts , all this is more free advertising for trump and his base , CNN and other hated media have learned nothing , Good , Bad or Ugly = free Good Air time . Fires up his base and creates more media hatred … its the fact , I’m a Dem and just see media feeding

And the US citizen is paying for SS to guard a president that’s a pedo. What is your point?

Remember, when it says “charged Secret Service” you can also accurately read it as “billed taxpayers”

That is exactly how business should be done in his 'The art of the deal' book.

The grift

Trump's mission was to 'steal, kill and destroy'

Oh, the horror — Trump is a conman and a criminal. You really think he’d ever do anything honest? Are you even surprised by this?

Is anybody surprised?

Trump will get money anyway he can by Begging Borrowing and Stealing.

Anything with that name is fraudulent. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well if the agents themselves aren’t paying anything then it’s free. Just like the rest of congress thinks as they don’t care if they use your money for their private flights, first class seating, or extravagant meals and entertainment. Goes both ways on the political isle.

Brookstarks13

Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump. Trump. Jesus he lives in all these peoples heads rent free.

Not surprised. You have heard from some of his former staff and employees as to how many of them were treated and or not even paid. Hes not going to give away something for nothing. He's a life long conman.🤔 at least he's consistent!?!?!

Put im in jail

All fake

I always found it baffling that he had so many diplomatic meetings at his properties. Beyond corrupt

Donald Trump was/is a businessman who saw/sees everything through the profit lense. What did America expect when they elected Trump to the WhiteHouse ? Choices have consequences! Trump

does that include the nightly resort fees?

So a scam?

Told you he was up to no good.

Anyone going to do anything about it? No?

The Trump’s grifted every penny they could steal.

Did anyone believe Trump was not always about grifting us & taking as much as possible for himself?

Everything is shady

“BuT hE dOnAtEd HiS sALARy” 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Quelle surprise!

$1160 divided by how many rooms. When articles from CNN get posted, I’m sure most of the truth is left out. Even if it was $1160 per room, the way the government is forcing inflation on everyone seems to fit the bill.
