Latest Update

CREW has received back additional records on the Mongolia trip bringing Secret Service expenses to more than $76k.

CREW is suing the Department of Homeland Security for failing to disclose records on expenses incurred by the Secret Service to provide protection to the president while staying at his own Trump Turnberry Resort in Scotland and to his son, Donald Trump Jr., during a hunting trip in Mongolia. 

Major redactions on documents CREW received from both Trump’s stay at his own Turnberry Resort in Scotland from July 14-15, 2018 and his son’s hunting trip to Mongolia from August 16-24, 2019 have received widespread public scrutiny. The expense reports hid the full cost to taxpayers for the trip which CREW has requested documents on and is suing for.

While the president and his family require Secret Service protection, the public deserves to know the cost to taxpayers for numerous trips abroad, which also frequently benefit Trump’s businesses.
