The city's top cop sent Congress a bill for defending President Donald Trump and his Midtown high-rise from November 8 to January 20.

Police Commissioner James O'Neill sent a letter to members of the state Congressional delegation in Washington Tuesday requesting reimbursement for $25.7 million the NYPD and FDNY spent to defend Trump Tower from Election Day until the inauguration.

O'Neill made it clear that it is a stretch financially for the department to protect the Trump Tower and continue to carry out its primary mission of protecting New Yorkers and keeping the city safe.

"The NYPD now serves a dual role in protecting the First Family and securing Trump Tower while simultaneously acting as a municipal police department charged with servicng and protecting the millions of residents, visitors, and workers in the city," the Commissioner wrote. " Moreover, Trump Tower itself now presents a target to those who wish to commit acts of terror against our country, further straining our limited counterterrorism resources....

"As we continue to manage the new reality of protecting the President, his family, and Trump tower, funding will be critical to ensure New York City can allocate the personnel and resources that are necessary to keep the city and all its residents safe. To that end, we estimate that New York City will spend an average of $127,000 to $146,000 a day for the NYPD and $4.5 million annually for the FDNY to protect the First Lady and her son while they reside in Trump Tower after the inauguration. We anticipate these costs will increase significantly whenever the President is in New York City."

In response to O'Neill's letter, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney issued a statement saying it's not fair for New Yorkers to bear the full financial cost of protecting the President and calling on her colleagues to approve a reimbusement.

"New York City taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for a national security obligation," Congresswoman Maloney said. "Now that New York City has calculated the final costs incurred for securing the President Elect and his family between his election and inauguration, Congress must provide city taxpayers a full reimbursement. Protecting the President-elect and his family is a national security priority and the burden of these costs must not fall on New Yorkers."
