Newly released Secret Service records expose exorbitant accommodation expenses incurred by agents traveling with Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
The Oversight Project has acquired documents that detail the staggering lodging costs and misuse of funds, such as a $756,000 expenditure for a trip to Hawaii.
In contrast, the Secret Service consistently denied President Trump’s appeals for extra resources.
“Citing resource issues, the Biden Admin set the stage for an assassin to shoot President Trump,” the Oversight Project said.
