According to a recent ABC News report, the Secret Service detail entrusted with protecting Hunter Biden is currently costing American taxpayers $30,000 on a monthly basis, chiefly from a luxurious rental in Malibu, California, where the president’s son has elected to live.
In addition to the $30,000 monthly rent for Secret Service, Hunter Biden himself is also enjoying a separate $20,000 monthly rental of a mansion in Malibu, California, as reported by various sources to ABC News.
The president’s son enjoys a palatial mansion in one of the most expensive areas of the nation, which is classified as a “resort-style” home. The estate includes French doors, a chef’s kitchen, and vaulted high ceilings.
Right next door, the mansion funded by taxpayers houses Secret Service agents, who are living in a Spanish-style estate that commands “gorgeous ocean views,” per the official property listing.
The Secret Service’s Malibu mansion features a gym, a spa, and a tasting room.
According to retired senior Secret Service agent Don Mihal, it is “typical” for “the Secret Service [to be forced] to find someplace to rent nearby at market value,” depending on “wherever a protected sets up their residence.”
“This isn’t new,” Mihal continued in his remarks to the Secret Service, noting that the agency “had to do this in past administrations.
“Unfortunately, the housing market right now has driven the prices up substantially,” Mihal admitted.
In addition to immense taxpayer funds expended on Hunter Biden’s lavish lifestyle choices, additional taxpayer funds are being utilized on the East Coast, chiefly to protect the residences of President Joe Biden: a beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as well as another residence in Wilmington, Delaware.
