Former President Donald Trump granted extended Secret Service protections to his four adult children. This is also extended to their spouses, according to Business Insider. He made this move before he left the White House in a last effort of wielding power. This expensive, full-time security detail is an unexpected move for most. The extended security detail could cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Given the amount of traveling that the Trump children do, the cost could be astronomical.
The Washington Post reports that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have spent $100,000 on bathroom accommodations. The bathroom was for their Secret Service detail.

Jared & Ivanka barred the Secret Service from using their 6.5 bathrooms when they first moved into their DC mansion in 2017. In September 2017, the federal government began renting a $3,000-a-month studio apartment across the street for the agents' bathroom needs.

Former British spy and Soviet secret agent George Blake has died in Moscow. He was 98. CNN reports a spokesperson for the Russian foreign intelligence agency SVR said Blake was 'highly respected and appreciated.' Blake used his position as an officer in the UK's Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, to spy for the Soviet Union. His secret work for the USSR humiliated the country's intelligence establishment when it was discovered at the height of the Cold War. In the UK he is perhaps best known for his daring escape from London's Wormwood Scrubs prison in 1966.
