Donald Trump declared on Monday that he would end the Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, immediate effect. Originally extended to both adult children before leaving office, Trump made this announcement on Truth Social, responding to questions about Hunter's security, which had been taxpayer-funded. This revocation echoes Trump's previous actions of removing security details for other officials shortly after taking office. Federal law dictates that former presidents receive lifelong Secret Service protection, but it generally does not extend to their adult children once they turn 16 unless specifically renewed.
Trump posted his intention on Truth Social after a reporter asked him about Hunter Biden's Secret Service detail: 'Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer.'
While touring the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Monday afternoon, a reporter asked Trump if he would revoke the protection for the former president's son. 'Well, we have done that with many,' said Trump.
