The Secret Service Just Left Trump Tower After Dispute
Following a dispute between the federal government and Trump’s company over the terms of a lease,
the Secret Service has left its command post in New York City’s Trump Tower.
Whereas the Secret Service had initially set up its command post just one floor below the President’s apartment, they have since
relocated to a trailer on the sidewalk,
more than 50 floors below.
In this case, Trump’s government sought to be a customer of Trump’s business. To protect him, the agency needed space in the pricey tower where he lives. But the two sides couldn’t agree. The Trump Organization was willing to accept a situation where the agents moved out and the space was available for others.Even though Trump no longer lives in Trump Tower, it is still considered his permanent home and, as such, the Secret Service must provide a full-time detail to protect it.
In a separate agreement, the U.S. military leases space in Trump Tower for $130,000 a month, which houses the White House Military Office. The Wall Street Journal reported that
the military was paying more for this unit than other renters did for comparable units.
