The Trump Organization charged up to $1,185 a room in 2017 for Secret Service agents who were protecting Donald Trump, Jr.

• That's five times the government rate, according to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which released a partial account of Secret Service spending under former President Trump.

Why it matters: Eric Trump claimed in 2019 that the government would save money by having agents stay at the family's properties.

• “If my father travels, they stay at our properties free,” he said at the time, The Washington Post reports.
• “[I]f they were to go to a hotel across the street, they’d be charging them $500 a night, whereas, you know we charge them, like $50.”

Zoom out: The documents indicate that the company charged the Secret Service in excess of the government per diem rate at least 40 times from the start of Trump's presidency through Sept. 15, 2021, Axios' Jacob Knutson reports.

• The other side: "[A]ny services rendered ... were either provided at cost, heavily discounted or for free," Eric Trump said in a statement.
