The city also paid $7.3 million for security costs at Trump's inauguration.
The nation's capital is requesting reimbursement from the White House for $1.7 million in security funds spent in support of President Donald Trump's Fourth of July military parade as the District of Columbia faces a depletion of its security budget due, in part, to last week's event.
According to the letter, the fund's depletion can be attributed to declining reserves, a greater demand for security services and the $7.3 million cost associated with Trump's inauguration. Bowser writes that while her city spends $16.5 million annually on security, Congress has recently allocated around $13 million each year for these costs, which include security support for federal leaders and national events that take place within city boundaries.
"It is critical that the EPSF is fully reimbursed... to ensure the District can uphold proper security and support during the remainder of the fiscal year without incurring a deficit for federal activities," she wrote.
