To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
The total cost and the reasons for such costs for the Secret Service to travel to the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminister, New Jersey between January 1, 2017 until the date this request is processed.
The total cost and the reasons for such costs for the Secret Service to travel to the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida between January 1, 2017 until the date this request is processed.
The total cost and the reasons for such costs for the Secret Service to travel to the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia between January 1, 2017 until the date this request is processed.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. I am a reporter with ThinkProgress, an online publication covering politics and policy in Washington, DC.
Please provide expedited processing of this request which concerns a matter of urgency. As a journalist, I am primarily engaged in disseminating information. The public has an urgent need for information because it could reveal wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars or unbecoming behavior by an elected official.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Danielle McLean
