VIDEO: Eric Trump said: “The only family in US history that didn’t enrich themselves when they went into government is the Trump family”.
Eric Trump: “My father was an incredible real estate developer. There’s no one better, there’s no better builder. Everything he ever touched turned to gold.”
Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney, a New York Democrat, wrote a letter today to Kimberly Cheatle, director of the United States Secret Service, requesting compliance with the committee’s investigation request. Maloney said members have “been seeking a full accounting of the Secret Service’s expenditures at Trump Organization properties for more than two years” but still lack information.
“The exorbitant rates charged to the Secret Service and agents’ frequent stays at Trump-owned properties raise significant concerns about the former President’s self-dealing and may have resulted in a taxpayer-funded windfall for former President Trump’s struggling businesses,” Maloney wrote.
An investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform said that despite claims by the Trump Organization that Secret Service agents traveling with Trump to Trump-owned properties stayed for free or at cost, the service was allegedly charged rates as high as $1,185 per room, per night, on dozens of trips.
During his presidency, Trump reportedly visited his properties 547 times, including 145 visits to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, while retaining ownership in his properties.
Eric Trump says his father could be flying around the world having a good time on vacations with his family and playing with his grandkids, but he is giving all that up for us.
