Looks like Alles was getting political

Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles assured agents that he is "fighting" to get more than 1,000 agents compensated for hundreds of hours they worked in overtime during the Trump administration.

 

As USA TODAY first reported on Monday, the Secret Service can no longer pay hundreds of agents who have already reached federally mandated caps on salary and overtime allowances, as the agency grapples with protecting a president who has spent almost every weekend in office visiting properties he owns on the East Coast and the 18-member first family's frequent business trips and vacations.

 

In a memo sent to the agency's 6,800 agents and officers, Alles said he was working with Congress on a "multi-year'' plan that would raise the caps from $161,000 to $187,000.

 

"Getting legislation introduced and enacted in the current environment is a challenge to be sure,'' Alles said in the memo sent Wednesday evening and obtained by USA TODAY. "But know that I am committed to fighting on your behalf every day to get this done."

The head of the U.S. Secret Service appeared to engage in some damage control on Monday, clarifying in a statement that the stresses placed on the agency by the travel habits and large size of President Donald Trump’s family are nothing new.

 

In an interview with USA Today published earlier Monday, Director Randolph "Tex" Alles had said Trump and his family's travel had stretched the Secret Service’s budget so thin that the agency would not be able to pay some agents for work already completed.

 

He was getting political.
