Former President Donald Trump has sent claims to the Secret Service for more than 40,000 dollars (approximately 350,000 Norwegian kroner) for renting a workroom to the security guards who have been there to look after the owner himself, Donald Trump, writes The Washington Post.
Avisa has reviewed federal expense items. Here it is stated that what Trump has demanded in expenses for the security guards who have been deployed at his luxury club, and now new homes, after he left the White House on January 20 this year. $ 396.15 is required by the Secret Service every day.
– Controversial and lucrative
“These claims, eventually paid by the taxpayers, continued to run until at least April 30, according to the expense items, which show a total of over $ 40,000,” he writes. The Washington Post.

The requirements are for a single room used as a workplace for Secret Service agents, according to a person who knows the payments. Nevertheless, the security agency has now paid twice as much money to Mar-a-Lago this spring than they did in equal periods in 2018 and 2019, when there were more security people at the luxury palace, according to The Guardian.
The security guards’ expenses show what they have paid for up to and including 30 April, and it is unclear whether they still have to pay for rent after that.
“The documents are the first proof that Trump has continued the controversial and lucrative practice of demanding interest from his own protectors during his post-presidential term,” the newspaper wrote.
Good severance pay
Neither the Secret Service, Donald Trump nor his people have wanted to comment on the information.
