The annual Aspen ski vacation taken in March by President Trump's children, Ivanka and Eric Trump, and their families, including son-in-law Jared Kushner, left taxpayers on the hook for security costs of at least $330,000, CBS News has learned.

Records obtained by CBS News through a Freedom of Information Act request show that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spent $329,561 for the week-long vacation. Housing costs were $195,700 at hotels across town.

The Secret Service also spent $26,000 on rental vehicles. Equipment costs were close to $22,000 -- to accompany the family on the slopes, the Secret Service had to buy lift tickets and rent skis and boots. They also rented bikes and bought other unidentified items at outfitting supplier REI and Backcountry.com.

Pictures posted on Instagram show Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner – both senior advisers to the president -- along with Eric and Lara Trump atop Aspen Mountain. Eric Trump and his wife also brought along their two dogs.

1. Where the hell is the oversight?

trump parasites. I want the government to be reimbursed for all expenses not part of running the country, not running the country into the ground.

2. KGB installed the president. I am so sick of talking about details, i want them OUT

3. They think they're royalty

and their dad thinks they are genetically superior.

4. That is true.

Someone posted an article about the psychological make up of people like 45 who lies, steals, cheats and thinks that this is normal behavior since it has been going on his entire life (this is true for his family too, including Jared). This is why he believes that either he actually did NOT do anything wrong since he has been acting this way forever or he may actually think he DID commit a crime isn't worried since he was never caught before so why would this time be any different.

10. Fits right in with Prosperity Gospel.

That's why the laying on of hands.

5. Didn't I see posts earlier

where posters were upset that Trump Jr declined security?

Which way do we want it?

6. Who was upset?

Was it because they thought he wanted privacy from prying eyes? Sooner or later he would have bragged about whatever he was concealing anyway.

7. NONE of these grifters should have SS protections as they are adults

and should not be eligible for SS protection. They can pay for their own damn tickets, hotels and body guards if they deem they necessary. They are no different then any other "advisor" to the Traitor in Chief. They must repay these funds immediately.

8. In light of what's happening in Puerto Rico...

this story makes me want to vomit! What an entirely disgusting family. I have no more words for how disgusting they are.

Get them all the hell out of our White House!

9. This is the mindset

of feudal lords who think they are entitled to everything, and that the peasantry exists merely in order to toil for the benefit of their right and proper rulers.

Oh, and STOP calling them "kids", which makes them sound like just kind of carefree younguns out for an innocent lark. Instead, we have grownass adults including a slumlord, multiple collusionist russian tools, and a design plagiarist.

11. I thought he was going to drain the swamp, not the treasury!

With their trips, the money Price has squandered, and Donny's regular golfing jaunts the US will be broke (or more broke than it already is). So of course we need a massive tax cut for billionaires

12. A message to the entire Trump family!
