Pricey protection
This isn’t the first time a president’s family has raised eyebrows with its lavish living quarters. Former President Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, kept their DC mansion’s bathrooms off-limits to the their Secret Service detail, according to the Washington Post.
As a result, the security team had to rent a nearby studio apartment at a rate of $3,000 a month. It ended up totaling more than $100,000 over the years, according to the Post.
Under the previous administration, the Secret Service requested an additional $60 million to protect the Trump family, according to ABC.
