JW Releases Records Detailing Government Funds Expended on First Daughter Malia Obama’s Trip to Mexico

December 06, 2012 | 1 Comment

Cost to Taxpayers: $115,500.87
 
 (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released records detailing the government funds expended on First Daughter Malia Obama’s March 2012 Spring Break vacation to Mexico. According to the records, obtained from the U.S. Secret Service as a result of a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on September 20, 2012, the total cost of the trip amounted to $115,500.87 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Secret Service (No. 12-cv-01562)).

Judicial Watch Weekly Update
 
The following is a breakdown of the costs as detailed in the documents:
 
Ground transportation: $23,964.81
 
Lodging: $21,682.92
 
Airfare: $47,767.34
 
“Vouchers”: $21,636.14 (not itemized)
 
Support Charges: $449.66 (travel for one from Mexico City to Oaxaca, not itemized)
 
Malia Obama’s spring break trip evoked controversy after the Obama White House reportedly ordered the removal of press reports detailing the trip. On March 19,2012, numerous online press outlets reported that the president’s 13-year-old daughter, Malia Obama, was on a Spring Break trip to Mexico accompanied by 25 U.S. Secret Service Agents and as many as 12 of her friends. However, shortly after the press reports surfaced they were quickly removed from the Internet. The trip took place shortly after the Texas Department of Public Safety issued a statement advising students on Spring Break “to avoid Mexico.”

Don't you feel so special now?

Malia had more and better security in Mexico than our ambassador did in Benghazi.

There's some expenses I don't see on the list.

1. Salary plus overtime for 25 Secret Service agents
2. TDY travel expenses for 25 Secret Service agents (hotels, per diem, Mexican hookers)
