One night in 2017, the year Donald Trump began his first White House term, his eldest son stayed at the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC.

Donald Trump Junior is one of 14 members of the president-elect's family who then, as now, is given Secret Service protection, so two more rooms were booked for his bodyguards.

Trump Organisation hotel rooms cost as little as $125 to $175 a night, but the five-star Trump International was no ordinary lodging house.

The $200 million hotel, described by one critic as 'a delicious carnival of absurdly over-sized chandeliers and gold-encrusted tat', had only opened the previous year and Trump wanted a return on his investment.

So the Secret Service had to stump up $1,185 for each room, nearly six times the maximum daily rate of $201 then allowed for government staff.

Fortunately for the Trumps, the Secret Service has the power to ignore this financial restriction to carry out its protective missions.
