Statement by Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin on the
Introduction of Legislation to Transfer the Secret Service Back to
Its Original Home at the Treasury Department
May 6, 2020

WASHINGTON — U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement
today following the introduction of legislation by U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Dianne
Feinstein to transfer the U.S. Secret Service back to the Treasury Department:
“I want to thank Senators Graham and Feinstein for introducing this critical legislation to bring
the Secret Service back home to the Treasury Department. The Secret Service’s dual mission of
conducting complex cyber-enabled financial and counterfeiting investigations and protecting
the nation’s executive leadership aligns closely with Treasury’s core national security functions
and commitment to the integrity and stability of our financial system. Presidents of both
parties, and members of Congress on a bipartisan basis, support returning the Secret Service to
Treasury. It will fulfill the recommendations of career and appointed leaders of the Secret
Service. This transfer will result in efficiencies that will maximize the Secret Service’s
effectiveness and better equip our government to anticipate and counter sophisticated and
evolving threats of tomorrow. I look forward to the Senate moving forward to passing this
important legislation.”
