Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Wash. v. DHS (D.D.C.) -- concluding that Secret Service properly relied on Exemptions 7(E and 7(F) to withhold hotel room rates paid by the government to Trump resort in Scotland, as well as the estimated amount the Secret Service spent on meals and incidental expenses at the resort, because “releasing the requested data could help outsiders predict the size of future Secret Service details, which could render the Secret Service more vulnerable to circumvention and increase the risk of physical harm to agents and protectees alike.”
