Trump Scammed $13M In Secret Service Payments

Forbes reports:

The Secret Service has paid Trump’s political committees about $13 million for air travel since 2016, a spokesperson confirmed to Forbes, to cover the costs of having the security detail travel with Trump. FEC data from Trump’s committees, which runs through Dec. 31, list $10.4 million in payments and about another $5 million in outstanding bills.

Trump’s political entities have paid his aviation company, Tag Air, $18 million for flights since 2016.

Secret Service payments to past presidential campaigns include $830,000 to Kamala Harris, $3.1 million to Joe Biden, $8.8 million to Hillary Clinton, $4.1 million to Barack Obama, $1.8 million to Mitt Romney and $2.6 million to John McCain. Those earlier campaigns, however, do not appear to have passed the funds on to companies the candidates own.
