A family business trip to India by President Donald Trump's eldest son cost taxpayers nearly $100,000, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The Post report, citing government documents, showed Donald Trump Jr.'s Secret Service protection racked up $97,805 in bills for the February trip to New Dehli, Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata, where there are Trump-licensed luxury high-rises.
The report also noted a review last year had pegged the government's price tag for a trip by son Eric Trump to Uruguay at $97,830.

The Dems should hold public hearings on these "business" trips making all business deals transparent.

There needs to be legislation requiring these hucksters to reimburse all costs
for trips which 1) resulted in business for these idiots, or 2) which were intended to result in business for them.

1. We should not be paying for their security on business trips.Here in the US they should have

maybe 2 agents and Trumps pay for their food and rooms. Just as they would for private security

2. So? Balonia spent twice that on a hotel she never stayed at

We might have a corruption issue in the White House, too bad the GOP is so complicit.
