The Washington Post reported on the 15th the Washington Post reported on the 15th that the security guards have struggled for the past four years by preventing White House Secret Service agents from using the toilets by President Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka and Jared Kushner. .
The newspaper cited residents and secret service officials from the Northwestern part of Washington, DC, where the couple lived, and said that although there were six toilets in the 465m2 (about 141 pyeong) sister-in-law, the bodyguards could not use it.
Calarama is a place where high-ranking Americans such as former President Barack Obama and Vice President Mike Pence live, and it is easy to see government bodyguards, but the newspaper points out that it is rare for bodyguards assigned to protect themselves and their families to use the toilet. I did.
If it is difficult for the bodyguard to use the toilet inside the sister's house, it means that the garage or an annex is renovated into a rest room with toilet.
WP reported that "Kalarama's bodyguards have to worry about the threat of assassination and the winner of the behavior, but the bodyguards assigned to Ivanka and Kushner have another concern, and it was the problem of finding the bathroom.
Residents said these bodyguards had asked other houses nearby or even jumped into office buildings to solve'urgent matters'.
When this was reported to the top, the Secret Service reportedly installed temporary toilets on the street.
However, the wealthy neighbors who lived here complained that it was impairing their beauty and obstructing traffic, and they were forced to withdraw.
Resident Diane Bruce said, "I was sorry for the guards," and said, "The day the temporary toilet was withdrawn, I thought,'The security guards should get into the car to go to the toilet now, but it was."
When the temporary restroom was withdrawn, the Ivanka couple's security team used the restroom in a building that refurbished former President Obama's garage into a security room.
However, even in mid-2017 they were'prohibited' due to the dirty use of the toilet.
Afterwards, the security team solved urgent matters by car to Vice President Pence's house, 1.6 km away, and in an urgent situation where there was no time to do so, they asked a nearby restaurant.
One policeman told WP, "It's the first time I've ever heard that a Secret Service agent had to go to such extremes to find a toilet."
Eventually, in September 2017, the Secret Service rented the basement of the house across from the Ivanka's sister-in-law for a period of four years and used it as a resting place.
WP reported that over the past three years, the federal budget of $3,000 (about 3.3 million won) per month for this rent alone, and $144,000 (about 160 million won) in total, has been used.
The White House said it was the Secret Service's decision to rent a basement and the Ivanka couple had never made the security team from using the sister's bathroom.
A Secret Service spokesman replied to the WP that "we are not talking about the means, methods, or resources of our security work."
The WP also reported that the Bangka couple were not'good neighbors' in Calorama, and they complained that they acted as a guardian in a place where a class criticized by President Trump lives.
Resident Bruce said, "What do you think the couple came to this area with the attitude of'we are royalty'."
