San Francisco Ethics Commissioner Quentin Kopp filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday to force the Secret Service to turn over documents detailing how much it cost taxpayers to protect Donald Trump Jr. while he was on a business trip to India on behalf of the Trump Organization.
In February, Trump Jr., the presidents eldest son and executive vice president at the Trump Organization, traveled to India for a weeklong tour to promote Trump-branded luxury properties across that country.
The tour featured a dinner with Trump Jr., for which prospective condo buyers paid a $38,000 booking fee, according to the complaint, which cited reporting by national media outlets.
Taxpayers deserve to know where their money is being spent and why their money is being spent to protect the adult son of the president on a trip designed solely to support the interests of the Trump organization, said Kopps lawyer, Justin Berger.
