After reportedly requesting the removal of Secret Service protection in order to have more privacy, Donald Trump Jr. is being guarded by the agency again, CNN reported Monday evening.
The Secret Service reportedly pushed back on Trump Jr.’s initial request to cut off the service, but eventually approved it. White House adviser Kellyanne Conway’s protection ended around the same time as Trump Jr.’s did.
It was not clear what prompted the move to bring back the agency’s protection, CNN reported.
The news follows a USA Today report that the agency has become overburdened by the size and lifestyle of the Trump family, which frequently travels around the globe for business and leisure.
In August, the Secret Service director said the agency couldn’t pay more than 1,000 of its agents because they had already met their salary and overtime caps for the year.
Well, excellent.
I hope they are all taking notes. Just in case, you understand. Not that we think there is anything fishy, nosirree bob.
Mueller’s handiwork, no doubt.
I assume he needed a break to meet with his Russian handlers, and now that is over, he’s back on board.
Added P.S: Remember that Ken Starr established that SS agents could be compelled to testify.
I don’t know what the big deal is, all Jr wanted was one week of privacy in his dacha.
I assumed that the president’s family gets protection, not because we give a rat’s ass about them, but because kidnapping them would be a likely way to hurt or consume the president, and we don’t have time for that.
It’s not about you, junior.
