The agency tasked with protecting US presidents and their families is shelling out $30,000 each month to guard Hunter Biden, ABC reported, noting that the Secret Service is paying for an expensive home in Malibu in order to be close to him.
For nearly a year, the service has spent tens of thousands in tax dollars every month for “a swanky Malibu, California mansion,” the outlet said in a report on Monday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the security detail. According to property records, the residence costs more than Hunter Biden’s own rented home nearby, which is listed at $20,000 per month.
Reached by ABC, the Secret Service declined to confirm the figure, saying it does not “comment on the means, methods, or resources used to conduct our protective operations” due to a need to “maintain operational security.”
