The Secret Service is getting concerned about its budget, most of which involves protecting the president. It will probably be asking Congress to increase the maximum wage for an agent from $160,000 to $187,000. Their costs have increased because of Trump's family's business activities here and abroad and their houses up and down the East Coast. Plus Trump's weekend travels to Mar-a-Lago, New Jersey and Virginia.
Under Trump, 42 people have protection, a number that includes 18 members of his family. That's up from 31 during the Obama administration.
