Lies, lies, and more lies from the grifters bankrupting public coffers.
"Eric Trump has claimed that Secret Service agents 'stay at our properties for free meaning, like, cost for housekeeping.' He insisted last year that 'we charge them, like, 50 bucks.'
"But receipts obtained by Public Citizen and first reported by The Washington Post show that Trumps properties have charged the Secret Service $396 per night for 177 rentals at Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort since he took office."
