In a development shocking to absolutely no one, the grifter in chief is caught doing what grifters do. Bone Spur has spent one-third of his "presidency" at his private clubs - bilking tax payers at every turn.

One small piece of the tip of the iceberg is charging secret service $650 per night - and doing his damndest to hide it.

"Most of the 103 payments discovered by The Post went to just three Trump properties: the Trump International Hotel in Washington and the president’s clubs at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster.

The Secret Service is required to tell Congress twice a year about what it spends to protect Trump at his properties.

But since 2016, it has only filed two of the required six reports, according to congressional offices.

Even in those two reports, the lines for Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago were blank.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has told the Senate committee that he opposes a requirement to deliver those details until December 2020 at the earliest, which falls after the election.

They showed that Trump had quickly shattered past precedent. Other recent presidents have allowed the Secret Service to use their properties — George H.W. Bush’s compound in Maine, Bill Clinton’s home in suburban New York, George W. Bush’s ranch in Texas — free, according to the Secret Service and spokespeople for those former presidents."
