In-town White House day (press briefing + executive orders) — baseline protection & support

President remained at the White House for in-town activities including a press briefing by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and the President signing executive orders. No taxpayer-funded travel legs were identified from the provided schedule, so costs are limited to the benchmarked baseline for Secret Service and supporting staff for an on-site White House day.

NEED_MORE_RESEARCH

Research gate not satisfied. Although multiple in-window reports confirm President Trump attended a New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago on 2025-12-31, I do not have enough verified, event-specific evidence to translate that into a defensible estimate of federal outlays incurred on the target date under the tracker rules (e.g., which Secret Service staffing level applied; whether/what local law-enforcement assist was formally activated and billable; any itemized federal reimbursements).

Itemized Breakdown:

NEED_MORE_RESEARCH

Cannot produce a defensible taxpayer-funded leisure-cost estimate for 2025-12-30 because evidence extraction tools failed (unable to open and quote/verify sources). Under the tracker rules (target_date ±7 days; ≥2 independent sources per event; count only federal outlays incurred on the date), I cannot verify the reported Mar-a-Lago → Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach movement and return using in-window sources, nor confirm whether/which local law-enforcement activation costs should be applied.

Itemized Breakdown:

NEED_MORE_RESEARCH

Insufficient verifiable, in-window evidence to compute a taxpayer outlay incurred on 2025-12-28 for (a) the Mar-a-Lago bilateral meeting with Ukraine’s president and (b) the same-day Mar-a-Lago ↔ Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach trip. Source gathering is incomplete due to tool access failures and lack of two independently verified, in-window sources documenting the specific local movements required to apply the tracker’s cost benchmarks (motorcade/security/LE activation) for the target date.

Unable to produce a defensible taxpayer-cost estimate for 2025-12-27 under the required evidence rules (target_date ±7 days; ≥2 independent sources per event; only federal outlays incurred on the date). The provided roll call indicates a local trip from Mar-a-Lago to Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach and return, but I could not locate enough in-window, independent, non-paywalled sources that document the specific movements/timestamps to support a costed record.

Insufficient in-window, independently verifiable sources (target_date ±7 days) documenting the President’s movements and any incurred federal outlays (travel, Secret Service, local law-enforcement activation, etc.) for 2025-12-24. Provide additional contemporaneous, non-paywalled source URLs (e.g., White House pool reports, local government cost statements, credible news reports) so costs can be computed using the provided benchmarks.

Insufficient in-window sourcing to estimate 2025-12-23 leisure-related federal outlays

The confidence gate is not met: fewer than 6 usable in-window (target_date ±7 days) non-paywalled sources clearly documenting the full sequence of 2025-12-23 movements and any attributable federal outlays (e.g., confirmed motorcade/aviation legs, local law-enforcement activation, and security posture). Current open sources located during this run (e.g., Palm Beach Post photo gallery and related coverage) indicate general holiday-period activity and include at least one reference to a Dec. 23 motorcade leaving Trump International Golf Club, but do not provide enough independent corroboration and cost-incurrence detail to reach model_confidence ≥ 0.95 under the provided rules.

Evidence gate not met for 2025-12-22 (Mar-a-Lago ↔ Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach)

Unable to produce a compliant, high-confidence taxpayer outlay estimate for 2025-12-22 because the required sourcing threshold is not met: fewer than 6 usable non-paywalled sources within the evidence window (2025-12-15 to 2025-12-29) that independently corroborate each target-date event (notably the 10:05/10:15 golf-club motorcade movement and the 3:08/3:14 return) and document whether local law-enforcement resources were activated and incurred costs that day. Without 2+ independent in-window sources per event and clear evidence of costs incurred on 2025-12-22, any computed total would be speculative under the tracker’s rules.

Cannot produce a compliant daily federal outlay estimate for 2025-12-21 because the confidence gate is not met: available open, in-window reporting does not provide 2+ independent sources corroborating each specific movement in the roll call (9:28/9:37 departure/arrival; 4:57/5:04 return; 7:03/7:09 dinner departure/arrival; 9:15/9:26 return) or confirm whether local law-enforcement resources were activated and incurred costs on the target date. Without those event-level confirmations and cost-incurrence evidence, any motorcade/security/aviation costing would be speculative under the tracker rules.

Evidence gate not met for 2025-12-20 (Palm Beach arrival + Mar-a-Lago golf trip)

The tool & confidence gate cannot be satisfied with the currently available evidence: fewer than 6 non-paywalled sources within the evidence window (2025-12-13 to 2025-12-27) independently corroborate the specific target-date movements (late-night arrival at PBI, transfer to Mar-a-Lago, and Mar-a-Lago↔Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach motorcade). In addition, no in-window sources found provide attributable, itemized federal outlays incurred on 2025-12-20 (aviation leg type/flight-hours, security posture, and whether local law-enforcement assistance was formally activated that day). Under the tracker rules, generating a dollar estimate without those confirmations would be speculative.
