New documents show that — while Trump was trying to overturn the election in December— he was still charging the Secret Service $396.15 a night for their hotel rooms at Mar-a-Lago.

By spending 8 nights at the club over Xmas, Trump brought himself another $15,846 from taxpayers.

And he had been charging Secret Service these fees for four years.

Beyond the general outrage for this, I don't understand why this timing matters.

Sorry.

Yes, it is offensive that Trump lined his pockets during his entire tenure. But it is no more offensive that he was doing so between November and January than at any other period of his presidency.
