Report: Secret Service Leaves Trump Tower After Price Dispute With Trump Organization

The Secret Service is leaving its space inside New York’s Trump Tower following a leasing dispute with the Trump Organization, The Washington Post reported. Agents were previously stationed one floor below Trump’s apartment, but last month the command post was moved to street-level in a trailer outside the Manhattan building. “After much consideration, it was mutually determined that it would be more cost effective and logistically practical for the Secret Service to lease space elsewhere,” a Trump Organization spokeswoman told the Post. A Secret Service spokeswoman said the security force is still looking “to obtain permanent work space in an appropriate location” inside the building. The newspaper cited two people familiar with the discussions as saying the disagreement centered around “price and other conditions of the lease.”
