Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is aiming to wait until after the 2020 the election to disclose the Secret Service costs for President Trump’s and his family’s travel, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The secretary is seeking a delay as Democrats push him to release the price of travel within 120 days after passing a bill that would bring the Secret Service back under the Treasury Department’s authority, people familiar with the discussions told the Post.

Mnuchin has been negotiating legislation with the Senate to move the agency from the Department of Homeland Security. He has supported the publication of Secret Service funding but says the first report should come out in December 2020 at the earliest, according to the newspaper.

After Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) proposed the release of costs a few months after the bill’s passing, Mnuchin said in a December letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he is against the earlier timetable.

2. Every damn thing about this

administration has to be kept under wraps. What are they hiding? The costs must be astronomical. I would like to know how much that trip to the UK, Scotland and Ireland cost, when they took the entire family, and WH along. They rented limos at a cost of almost $1 million. They could have bought them cheaper. Beavis and Butthead went pub crawling in Ireland, and left without paying a single bill.

The Trump family is crime. And everybody knows crime doesn't pay.

4. No more funding until you turn in your receipts.

This is basic stuff. Stop coddling these corrupt Trumps.

Even tRump’s strongest supporters would draw the line at what it costs for him to play golf on his own courses.

6. Davos 2020 delegation and costs

to stay in Switzerland, has anyone calculated the cost to provide the entire criminal family with an all expenses paid vacation? They so desperately want to mingle and make deals with the real world of powerful players. imo
