WASHINGTON (AP) — Government officials said Friday that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos requires additional security detail due to a threat to her safety and that it may cost up to $7.8 million through September to protect her. The U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement that a threat assessment was conducted in February and DeVos was put under additional protection. The statement did not provide details on the threat or the number of personnel assigned to her.
The agency said it will be reimbursed $7.78 million from the Education Department for services from February through September. The Education Department said that's a projected, not a final figure. The move comes amid a proposal by the Trump administration to cut the department's budget by 13 percent. The evaluation of DeVos' safety took place after a protester briefly blocked her from entering a public school in the nation's capital.
Another lie by this man, he said during his campaign that he would not police the world. In 2013 after 400,000 Syrians had been killed since 2001 Trump said we should not get involved with Syria because “nothing can be gained.” Yet 70 more Syrians get killed and all of sudden he cares, I don’t think so, it’s all political. Are we supposed to believe Trump cares about dead Syrian people when he doesn't even care about the healthcare of living Americans. During his campaign Trump said over and over again that you don't warn your enemy as to an attack yet he warned Russia knowing that Russia would warn Syria. That is why the airfield was empty. Trump said over and over again that “America First” yet here we are wasting American Tax dollars on something that is not beneficial to Americans. This money could be spent on so many other things in America like healthcare. After 70 years of not caring about people from other countries, Trump didn’t just wake up yesterday and start caring. This is all political to distract Americans as to the train wreck of his Administration. This is no different on how Trump said over and over again that he would build the biggest, tallest, strongest wall and Mexico will pay for it. The wall will be sectional and Mexico will not pay for it. Yet his supporters don’t care. Because this isn’t about a wall or anything else that has come out of Trump’s mouth. This is about putting someone in power that believes that America should ONLY be white.
An lawsuit alleging the President Trump is violating the Constitution by receiving payments from foreign governments has been expanded to include the trademarks that China abruptly granted to the Trump Organization after years of denying them shortly after Trump became president and reaffirmed commitment to the One China policy.
A newly released report by Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee found that President Trump’s border wall would actually cost taxpayers $66.9 billion — three times more than projected by the Department of Homeland Security.
