Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, and her husband, Jared Kushner, a top aide to the president, have spent more than $100,000 on accommodations for their Secret Service detail after prohibiting the agents from using the bathrooms in their mansion, The
Law-enforcement officials told The Post that the president’s daughter and his son-in-law barred the Secret Service agents from using their 6.5 bathrooms when they first moved into their home in the wealthy Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC, in 2017. Instead, they offered the agents a port-a-potty on the sidewalk.
But after multiple neighbors complained about the port-a-potty, the agents were forced to use bathrooms in former President Barack Obama’s garage nearby, at the vice president’s compound a mile up Massachusetts Avenue, and at businesses in the area.
Finally, in September 2017, the federal government began renting a $3,000-a-month studio apartment across the street from the Trump/Kushner residence for the agents’ bathroom needs. The government has so far spent more than $100,000 on rent for the basement apartment and is expected to spend a total of $144,000, as the lease goes the end of September.
In a statement to The Post, a White House spokesman, Judd Deere, denied that Trump and Kushner had prohibited their Secret Service detail from using the bathrooms in their house.
