Trump administration is currently pushing back against a proposed provision that would require the Secret Service to disclose how much it's spending on presidential travel—at least until after voters go to the polls in November.
he Secret Service is required to report semiannually the cost of protecting the president's primary non-White House residence, the Trump administration failed to do so in either 2016 or 2017, and has been delayed in submitting subsequent reports. The White House also dodged questions from Congress's Government Accountability Office about the issue for two years, after the GAO sought information on the cost of Trump's travel to Mar-a-Lago based on a question in Congress.
a president who spent one out of every five days on a golf course last year, the agency is likely running up a hefty bill. The GAO found that Trump's first four trips to Mar-a-Lago as president in 2017 cost the Secret Service approximately $1.3 million per trip
