Ivanka Trump Ski Trip To Canadian Resort Brings Big Secret Service Bill
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner took their kids to a five-star Canadian ski resort during Passover in April. According to newly available data from the federal government, the Secret Service costs for hotel accommodations and ski passes during the family’s trip to the Four Seasons Resort and Residences in Whistler, British Columbia were at least $66,538.42. Of that amount, government purchase order records show, $59,654 covered hotel costs for Secret Service agents at the resort near Vancouver, while $6,884 paid for "multi-day ski passes."
A larger group of Trumps, 14 adults and children in all, took a ski trip to the pricey resort town of Aspen, Colorado in March. Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric were accompanied by their families – and Secret Service agents. Purchase order records show a contracted expenditure for more than $12,000 for the rental of "recreational goods" from a local business, Aspen Valley Ski/Snowboard Club, Inc. But the Secret Service denied the costs were for ski rentals and the store did not respond to an NBC News request for comment. The records do not appear to show a purchase order for hotel rooms for agents during the Aspen trip.
