Democrats: Congress stiffing city on Donald Trump's security
"New York City taxpayers should not be on the hook for 80 percent of the national bill" to protect Trump and his family, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.
Since Trump won the Nov. 8 election, security around Trump Tower, the eponymous Manhattan skyscraper where he lives and works, has been stepped up to extraordinary levels.
New York didn't detail its projected costs in letters to congressional leaders and the White House earlier this week but noted the "unprecedented" challenge of providing presidential-level security at a building that's a tourist attraction in one of the busiest parts of Manhattan, plus protecting Trump's motorcade when he heads out.
