Trump overcharged Secret Service to stay at his hotel during presidency, House Democrats say

Washington — In a report released Friday morning, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee allege that newly obtained records show then-President Donald Trump overcharged the U.S. Secret Service for rooms at his former hotel in Washington, D.C., during his presidency.
The committee Democrats accuse Trump of deliberately charging the Secret Service "exorbitant rates," far above what other similar rooms cost, when agents stayed at the hotel as the protective detail for Trump family members.
In a 58-page investigative report, the committee Democrats argue, "The Secret Service charges associated with Eric Trump's stays at just the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., demonstrate clearly that former President Trump's D.C. hotel treated stays by Trump family members as the ultimate government ATM withdrawal opportunity."
