The Secret Service no longer has the funds to pay agents needed to protect President Donald Trump and his large family in their extensive travels, USA Today reported on Monday.
Trump has traveled frequently to his properties in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia, and his adult children have taken numerous vacations and business trips throughout the United States and overseas, travels for which the law requires the Secret Service to provide protection.
Secret Service Director Randolph Alles told USA Today that unless Congress provides additional funding, he will not even be able to pay agents for the work they have already done, because more than 1,000 agents have already reached the federally mandated caps for salary and overtime allowances that were meant to last the entire year.
