County to Feds: Reimburse Us $6.8 Million for Cost of Extra Security for Donald Trump

Palm Beach County officials are seeking $6.8 million in federal reimbursement for the additional security expenses incurred during former President Donald Trump’s visits. The county argues that the heightened security measures were necessary due to Trump’s frequent stays, which required significant local law enforcement resources. The reimbursement request highlights the financial strain on the county’s budget and underscores the broader issue of local governments bearing the cost of security for high-profile federal officials.
