Trump ends Harris' Secret Service detail
Briefly

President Trump revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection by ending an extension that had extended beyond the typical six-month post-office coverage. Former vice presidents normally receive Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office. Harris had received an extension that now has been revoked. Harris is planning a nationwide tour to promote her book 107 Days, which recounts her short presidential campaign. Harris's spokesperson expressed gratitude to the United States Secret Service for professionalism, dedication, and commitment to safety. Harris resides in Los Angeles since leaving Washington in January. Trump also revoked Secret Service detail for President Joe Biden's adult children.
President Trump has revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris' Secret Service protection, according to Harris spokesperson Kirsten Allen. It's typical that former vice presidents only have Secret Service protection for 6 months after they leave office. That would have meant Harris would have lost her protection after July. But she had received an extension. Trump is revoking that extension. This comes as Harris is about to embark on a nationwide tour to promote her new book,
107 Days, a recounting of her historically short run for president last year. "The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety," Allen told NPR in a statement. Harris currently lives in Los Angeles, where she has been since she left Washington in January. Trump has also revoked Secret Service detail for the adult children of former President Joe Biden.
