WASHINGTON ― The Trump administration has proposed a study of whether the U.S. Marshals Service should take over security for Cabinet officials, following a series of scandals over how various Trump appointees have used their department security details. Current security arrangements vary from department to department, which generally gives Cabinet members a lot of discretion over their own security details and creates potential for waste and abuse. Marshals, in an unusual arrangement, provided security for Education Secretary Betsy Devos at a cost of $5.3 million in fiscal 2017 and $6.8 million in fiscal 2018. The expected cost of DeVos’ Marshals security for fiscal 2019 is $7.74 million.
