New Jersey Republican Rep. Leonard Lance announced Wednesday the town of Bedminster has been designated a priority for presidential protection.
The government has made $41 million available to cover costs incurred between Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration and Oct. 1. Trump’s residences in New York and Florida have similar designations.
Bedminster, a town of roughly 9,000 residents about 40 miles from New York, spent about $9,000 in police overtime combined for two trips by Trump in May and June.
Costs incurred by the state police and county law enforcement were not immediately released.
