Secret Service agents assigned to Ivanka Trump, the president’s eldest daughter, and her husband, Jared Kushner, a top White House adviser, have been renting a $3,000 per month studio apartment at taxpayer’s expense for the purpose of having a bathroom available, The Washington Post reports.
After being instructed not to use any of the half-dozen bathrooms inside the Kalorama home, located in Northwest Washington, the Secret Service detail tried multiple solutions, including using the bathroom at the not-so-close home of Vice President Pence and a port-a-potty.
In 2017, the detail began renting a neighbor’s basement studio apartment to solve the problem, the Post reports. With a rent of $3,000 a month, the detail has spent upward of $100,000 on the toilet solution.
While the Post states that the directive came at the family’s request, the White House claims it was the Secret Service that made the decision about toilet use.

The Secret Service agents assigned to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were reportedly instructed "not to use any of the half-dozen bathrooms inside the couple’s house," sending them on a journey to find a restroom of their own to use while at work.https://t.co/nj27gyYrEg pic.twitter.com/ohQ5L7Vj4L
