The Secret Service agents tasked with protecting Hunter Biden at his Malibu mansion incurred expenditures of more than $4.5 million in just over a year, according to reports obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The substantial costs, covered by taxpayers, stemmed from agents maintaining a round-the-clock watch on Hunter Biden.
The records show that over $2.8 million was spent using a government credit card, with $1.12 million allocated to hotel room accommodations from 2021 to 2022 . Rental cars accounted for $632,071 of the expenses, which agents used while overseeing Hunter’s security at a lavish property costing $20,000 a month. Additionally, the Secret Service spent $30,000 monthly to lease a neighboring property near Hunter’s residence.
The villa in Malibu, valued at $6 million, included luxurious amenities such as a pool, gym, spa, and built-in BBQ. While the setup allowed agents to maintain a close watch over Hunter Biden, the spending extended beyond basic necessities, including purchases from Home Depot, Best Buy, Staples, and Amazon.
A Secret Service spokesman stated that the agency does not discuss details of spending and operational procedures, emphasizing that its primary mission is to safeguard the continuity of the American government.
