Protecting President-elect Donald Trump and his family is costing New York City more than $1 million a day, according to three city officials. Adding to the expense is the cost of police assigned to Trump's adult children and his grandchildren, who are also receiving Secret Service protection, John Miller, NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence & counterterrorism, told WCBS Monday. All of them live in the city, and all are entitled to receive Secret Service protection. But protecting Trump in New York City is particularly costly, given that he lives in the most densely-populated neighborhood of the nation's biggest city. But the fact that the city will need to protect Trump on an ongoing basis is unprecedented, de Blasio said.
