Agnew Spending: GAO Details Costs After Resignation
The GAO disclosed that nearly $100,000 in tax money was spent to support former VP Spiro Agnew after his resignation, covering offices aides and Secret Service protection. Salaries for Agnew related staff totaled $89,392.75 through Dec 4, with space costs of $2,075. The White House and Nixon administration had arranged ongoing protection and privileges, though legal authority for continued Secret Service protection for former vice presidents was unclear. The GSA funded office space, and questions remain about proper use of public funds for Agnew’s post presidency activities.
