The White House Military Office, which is a unit of the Pentagon, is tasked with—among other things—protecting the famous nuclear “football.”
Reuters reported on Friday that it viewed a letter from the Pentagon to Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif, who is a member of the House Armed and Services Committee.
The report said it is unclear how much the lease will cost taxpayers.
