Trump Owned Company Received $1.6 Million From Secret Service
Is this the Trump economic “stimulus package”? I sure feel “stimulated”. Kinda like a guy that just had his pockets picked. Usually a candidate does not own the firms involved and being reimbursed.
The difference with Trump is that one of his companies, TAG Air, Inc., owns the plane, so the government is effectively paying him.
The Clinton campaign, by contrast, mostly has been chartering planes from a private company called Executive Fliteways in which the Clintons do not have any ownership interest.
“The taxpayers are actually reimbursing Trump for the travel of the Secret Service agents,” said Brett Kappel, a campaign finance lawyer at the law firm Akerman LLP. “It’s just another example of how the Trump campaign has taken an unprecedentedly large amount of its money and spent it at Trump-owned facilities.”
