Trump revokes Harris’ Secret Service protection

President Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior White House official and an adviser to Harris confirmed. Harris was entitled to six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office.

And while that period was extended by former President Joe Biden, President Donald Trump was under no legal obligation to extend Harris’ Secret Service protection beyond the six month period.

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” a senior Harris adviser said.

Harris’ detail will move to an assignment in New York to work on the United Nations General Assembly, where significant preparation is already underway for that event next month. The detail will later be reassigned.

Earlier this year, Trump announced that he was terminating Secret Service protection for Biden’s two adult children, Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, whose protection their father had extended. Biden had also extended protection to former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas due to alleged threats, but Trump revoked that as well.

Former President Biden had revoked President Trump’s security clearances upon entering office in January 2021.
