“The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. “Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers’ dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration.”

According to The Blaze, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the receipt of the vacation costs. The site filed a lawsuit on May 6 and the documents were released in response.
