Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is opposing Secret Service cost disclosures related to travel by President Donald Trump and his family until after the presidential election, The Washington Post reported

"The Secret Service under the Trump administration has come under fire for expense reporting issues before.A report released last February by the US Government Accountability Office regarding the taxpayer costs of Trump's first four visits to his Mar-a-Lago Club determined that the Defense Department and the Secret Service did not regularly report the costs of protecting the President to Congress.
