The Washington Post revealed in a report that U.S. Secret Service agents meant to provide security for Ivanka and Jared Kushner had to go to extreme lengths to find a bathroom to use since the couple wouldn’t allow them to use any of their 6 1/2 bathrooms at their home. The report is bonkers because, of course, if anyone has a security detail, they would be more than happy to let them use their bathroom since they’re the ones keeping them safe amid a toxic political climate. Well, not if you’re the Kushners, apparently.
“Instructed not to use any of the half-dozen bathrooms inside the couple’s house, the Secret Service detail assigned to President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law spent months searching for a reliable restroom to use on the job, according to neighbors and law enforcement officials,” the news outlet reports. “After resorting to a porta-potty, as well as bathrooms at the nearby home of former president Barack Obama and the not-so-nearby residence of Vice President Pence, the agents finally found a toilet to call their own.”
After resorting to the porta-potty, which didn’t go down well in the fancy-pants neighborhood, the Secret Service ended up having to rent out a studio apartment so that they could pee.
“But it came at a cost to U.S. taxpayers. Since September 2017, the federal government has been spending $3,000 a month — more than $100,000 to date — to rent a basement studio, with a bathroom, from a neighbor of the Kushner family,” the report states.
