Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is aiming to wait until after the 2020 the election to disclose the Secret Service costs for President Trump’s and his family’s travel, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
The secretary is seeking a delay as Democrats push him to release the price of travel within 120 days after passing a bill that would bring the Secret Service back under the Treasury Department’s authority, people familiar with the discussions told the Post.
Mnuchin has been negotiating legislation with the Senate to move the agency from the Department of Homeland Security. He has supported the publication of Secret Service funding but says the first report should come out in December 2020 at the earliest, according to the newspaper.
After Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) proposed the release of costs a few months after the bill’s passing, Mnuchin said in a December letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he is against the earlier timetable.
