The United States Secret Service requested an additional $60 million for next year to handle the increased costs of protecting President Donald Trump and his family.

According to documents reviewed by The Washington Post, the agency requested $26.8 million for "residence security operations at the president's private residence in Trump tower," with $12.5 million specifically earmarked for "personnel related costs in New York."

The agency also requested $33 million request to cover travel-protection expenses that are "extremely variable, difficult to predict and difficult to plan for in advance as many protectees' travel plans are unknown with limited time to prepare," on top of the $74 million already in the fiscal 2018 budget.

The costs come from the Secret Service's duty to protect not just Trump, but his wife and youngest son, living full time at Trump Tower in Manhattan; his adult children, including his sons, who travel internationally on behalf of the Trump Organization; and his grandchildren.

The agency also asked for the equivalent of six additional full-time positions.

According to The Post, the February request was rejected by the Office of Management and Budget, likely forcing the Secret Service to make cuts to other areas of its budget.

For fiscal 2017, the Secret Service requested a total of $734 million, which included several months of last year's election campaign, during which it was charged with protecting two presidential candidates as well as President Barack Obama and his family, former presidents, visiting heads of state and other protected individuals.

The cost of protecting the president does not solely fall in the Secret Service, as local jurisdictions front the costs of police and other security measures and then must ask the federal government for reimbursements.

New York City police pegged the cost of protecting Trump Tower between the election and inauguration cost $24 million, and estimate the daily price tag of guarding the Manhattan property at $300,000 each day the president is in town. When just first lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump are in residence, police told The Post, the cost drops to between $127,000 and $145,000 a day.

Palm Beach County sheriff's officials, meanwhile, say protecting Mar-a-Lago has racked up a price tag of $1.5 million in overtime, and the city says it may levy higher fees on the club to avoid raising taxes on other city residents to meet the cost.

The Post said the documents did not give any indication of how the request compared to the requirements for Trump's predecessors, also noting that such information is not public.
