A Secret Service official told CBS News that “elevator inspection is one of many protective operational measures utilized by the Secret Service.”

With Eric Trump’s trip to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland this week, the international hotel and car rental costs for the Secret Service agents who protect him and his brother Donald Trump Jr. have topped $190,000 since January 1st, according to a review of purchasing orders by CBS News. All of those bills are paid by taxpayers.
