WASHINGTON — In between keeping Vice President Joe Biden and his family safe, the Secret Service also cuts him a $2,200 monthly rent check.
Since April, Biden has raked in more than $13,000 in rent from the Secret Service for a cottage next to his waterfront home outside Wilmington, Del., FoxNews.com reported yesterday.
Under the terms of the contract, Biden could make up to $66,000 by the end of 2013.
“Having our command post in close proximity to the vice president’s residence affords us a level of security that we wouldn’t have otherwise,” service spokesman Edwin Donovan said.
