Trump Revokes Biden’s Secret Service Detail
President Donald Trump has announced that he is ending Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden.
Trump made the announcement in a post on Truth Social, where he decried the fact that American taxpayers were being forced to foot the bill for Secret Service protection for former President Joe Biden’s adult children — Hunter, 55, and Ashley, 43.
“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer,” the president wrote. “There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”
Trump went on to note that Secret Service agents are currently protecting Hunter Biden on a vacation in South Africa — criticizing Hunter for even visiting the country that has been violating the human rights of its citizens.
“He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,” the post continued. “Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance.”
“Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list,” Trump concluded.
According to U.S. law, former presidents and their spouses are granted Secret Service protection for the rest of their lives. However, Secret Service protection for their children is only granted until the president leaves office, unless the child is under the age of 16. Even vice presidents don’t get Secret Service protection for life, as they are only offered protection for six months after leaving office.
While the left is melting down over the decision to revoke Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service protection, conservatives are defending the move — with many pointing out that there are no serious threats to the Biden family, and noting that the Biden family is wealthy enough to pay for private security:
