Donald Trump‘s inauguration ceremony is relying on a private security company … and Uncle Sam is paying a pretty penny to keep the incoming President safe.
TMZ obtained federal procurement docs that show the Secret Service has hired a company called Arcus Group LLC to help out with Monday’s inauguration. The company scored an $8.1 million contract for the job … and the firm is tasked with securing the perimeter.
Sounds like taxpayer money is being put to good use here … Arcus Group boasts they are specialists in temporary security perimeters for high profile situations … and Trump’s inauguration fits the bill.
The firm says they provide top-notch stuff like anti-scale fencing, barricades, golf carts and gators, mobile commands posts, light towers, all types of barriers, tents, mobile power generators and perhaps most useful of all … portable bathrooms!!!
Trump had a few attempts on his life during the campaign so the Secret Service needs all the help it can get here.
Costs are going up … the Secret Service spent $7.5 million on private security for Joe Biden‘s inauguration ceremony. Inflation’s a bitch!!!
