Abstract:
The Secret Service is responsible for protecting the President and his family, including adult children when they travel. The Secret Service can request assistance in its mission from other agencies, such as DOD and the Coast Guard. When the President travels, he must fly on DOD aircraft. GAO was asked to review the travel related costs for four trips that the President took to Mar-a-Lago and three trips that the Presidents adult children made to certain overseas destinations. This report examines 1 the costs incurred by federal agencies associated with the Presidents travel on selected trips to Mar-a-Lago, 2 the costs incurred by federal agencies associated with certain overseas trips taken by Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump, and 3 the extent to which the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and DOD have reported their costs pursuant to the Presidential Protection Assistance Act of 1976. GAO analyzed agency cost data in connection with the Presidents travel to Mar-a-Lago and the Presidents adult childrens trips to certain overseas locations. GAO also reviewed the law, agency guidance, and semiannual reports related to the Presidential Protection Assistance Act of 1976.
