When Eric Trump stayed at Trump Hotels, Secret Service paid above government rate limits

[basquebromance]

Remember when Eric Trump said they weren't really charging Secret Service when they needed to stay at a Trump hotel?

Not only was that wildly untrue, they were actually charging them more than the government rate when protecting him.

Trump Hotels Charged Secret Service Exorbitant Rates, House Inquiry Finds

WASHINGTON — The Trump Organization charged the Secret Service up to $1,185 per night for hotel rooms used by agents protecting former President Donald J. Trump and his family, according to documents released on Monday by the House Oversight Committee, forcing a federal agency to pay well above government rates.

The committee released Secret Service records showing more than $1.4 million in payments by the department to Trump properties since Mr. Trump took office in 2017. The committee said that the accounting was incomplete, however, because it did not include payments to Mr. Trump’s foreign properties — where agents accompanied his family repeatedly — and because the records stopped in September 2021.

The records the panel managed to obtain provided new details about an arrangement in which Mr. Trump and his family effectively turned the Secret Service into a captive customer of their business — by visiting their properties hundreds of times, and then charging the government rates far above its usual spending limits for their protectors to follow.

The former Grifter-in-Chief fleeced the American people in more ways than one.

I find it interesting that the room rates were redacted. Why is that?

“If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free. So everywhere that he goes, if he stays at one of his places, the government actually spends, meaning 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, 2019

Its shocking to find that Eric is a liar. How much pain will that cause his elderly father ?
