Hunter Biden is apparently spending his father's presidency living in luxury in Malibu -- and so is his taxpayer-funded security detail. The Secret Service detail protecting the president's controversial son has been paying more than $30,000 a month to rent out a swanky Malibu, California, mansion for nearly a year, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. The agency responsible for protecting the president and his family -- among other ranking government officials -- selected the property in order to be located as close as possible to Biden's own rented mansion where he is paying about $20,000 a month according to property

I do not understand why the tax payers have to pay for security detail of adult children of these politicians!

If the FBI and DOJ wasn’t so corrupt, Hunter would be staying at Fort Leavenworth

The SS are in a nicer mansion than America's most celebrated fine artiste? That's not right; let them swap homes.

I wonder if Joe (or Hunter) owns that adjoining swanky mansion? Doesn't Joe make a little side income renting out some shack at one (or more) of his estates to the Sec Service for their guard house?
Now, if some legitimate foreign terrorist group had a credible threat against family members of a sitting (or recent) US President, I might agree that some Sec Service protection is necessary. But being Hunter's on-call chauffers is not.

There was a time when American presidents left office without millions of dollars. Not now. It’s ridiculous that the taxpayers have to pay for Secret Service protection for the children of presidents. Obama has three (!) multi-million dollar mansions and we’re paying for agents to shadow Sasha and Malia. Barbara and Jenna Bush can afford their own protection if they really need it. And don’t get me started on Chelsea Clinton! It’s long past time to put a stop to this …. we had a revolution because we didn’t like being ruled by a king and treated like serfs. Why do we accept this?

Keeping Hunter in prison will be much cheaper.

Let's be serious. Obama's went to Hawaii during eight Christmas Holidays of his presidency. Partially to avoid having to attend Christian Christmas services in D.C. Each trip, including large jets cost taxpayers about Eighteen Million. Well over one hundred million during his eight year stretch. Here is a better one: because he is so stupid, he required a tele-prompter crew whenever he spoke, even to a group of very young children. Total cost was one million per month or 96 million for his disastrous term!!

All these people are extremely wealthy. If they want protection, they can pay for it themselves. What a bunch of freeloaders.

The agents probably don't complain too much. Picture it, you could defend Our Great Republic by freezing in a trench in South Korea or roasting somewhere in the Middle East while serving in the army, or you could mingle with the glitterati while living in a deluxe mansion where the rent alone costs more then some people earn in a year of work. We used to laugh about societal gradations in the Soviet Union or in any Banana Republic, where the leaders feasted on every luxury available while their subjects wondered where their next meal was coming from, but this is now the norm in America, where our ruling class lives like celebrities while making sure the rest of us live in deprivation.

Hmmm, I wonder how much is actually paid out or our taxes to cover all the Presidents, Vice Presidents, past and current plus their children and their wives and dogs or whatever...didn't Hunters wifey just frolic on the beach in S. America last week with her contingent of SS guards?

The story is that GWB did not travel for Christmas Day so the many of the SS could spend the day with their families. He went to his ranch much of the time where less SS was needed. I suppose some SS was always at the ranch.
Did PIAPS rent her Chappaqua garage to the SS for the amount of the mortgage payment for the house?
I'm wondering.....does PDT require the SS to pay rent at Mar-A-Lago? There was some chatter that PDT could not return to live in NYC because it would be too difficult for the SS.
(Hmm.....now, who is being considerate of the taxpayers?)

I once had a Secret Service man in a graduate class, late 1990s, and he said Secret Service agents prefer not to do security detail work.
Separate from that, when did we extend secret service protection to adult children of presidents and vice presidents?

Resident Biden pays rent on a Malibu mansion? Now that I didn't know. Makes sense if he wants to stay close to his 'owners' who funded this fraud.

Strange is it not...that a "story" about Hunter Bidens security costs includes many many lists of costs and trips for others, particularly Trumps "Family" but mentions narry a bit about Hunters constant SS Security detail while he was Son of VP...they were along for all of his coke/prostitute binges here in the USA as well as abroad, over 200 trips overseas during Joe's 8 years as VP.
Secret Service senior agents even had to go track down Hunter, spend hours trying to wake him up "Post Binge" and arrange for refunds/repayments to a Russian Pimp because Hunter had spent $thousands$ on Pater Joes Credit card when his own cards had been maxxed out.

This pervert should have his "security" from within a Federal Prison.

The public gets stipends. The politician's get open checkbooks.

Any country that truly hated America would attempt to grab Humper, clone him and return all 6 Humpers to America. Think of all the havoc...
