Trump revokes Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris
Source: NBC News
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump has revoked U.S. Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior adviser to Harris told NBC News on Friday.
A senior White House official confirmed Friday that Trump revoked Harris Secret Service detail, adding that vice presidents typically only get six months of protection when they leave office.
Congress passed legislation in 2008 that authorized the Secret Service to protect former vice presidents, their spouses and their children under 16 years old for up to six months after the vice presidents term has ended.
A Secret Service official told NBC that while that's true, President Joe Biden had signed an executive memorandum in January extending Harris protection to 18 months.

TACO Don is that spiteful that he would stoop so low as to do that.

I don't know if he pulled it for Mike Pence or not.

(38,662 posts)... and hopefully SOON, we'll have this precedent in place. It will justify us to remove Secret Service protection for every Repuke former leader plus their families. For that matter, why does Dubya still have Secret Service protection? Is Dick Cheney still protected?

(2,429 posts)Lifetime protection of former Presidents was ended in 1994. It was limited to 10 years. Under Obama, it was reinstated back to lifetime for former Presidents. It would take Congress to change it again. Vice Presidents only get 6 months of protection by law. After that its entirely up to the Government if it continues or not.

(210 posts)Didnt he extend their SS protection? Remember how much money was spent on them first time around? That family took advantage of the all the grifting possibilities.
This clowns admin (backed by their P2025) is truly evil. Their clown is the epitome of waste fraud and abuse.

But no matter what Harris does next, one thing suddenly seems clear: She wont have Secret Service protection. NBC News reported:
President Donald Trump has revoked U.S. Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior adviser to Harris told NBC News on Friday. ... A senior White House official confirmed Friday that Trump revoked Harris Secret Service detail, adding that vice presidents typically only get six months of protection when they leave office.
Its true that while former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life, an expensive privilege, Harris protection was scheduled to expire after six months. That said, CNN was first to report that Joe Biden, before leaving the White House, approved an extension for an additional year.
Trump has now undone that policy......
If these developments seem familiar, its not your imagination. About a week into his second term, Trump started pulling security details from a variety of former officials, including former White House national security adviser John Bolton, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former special envoy to Iran Brian Hook and Dr. Anthony Fauci apparently out of spite.....
But while Harris is in good company, shes also in a unique position: Of all the people on this list, shes the only one to have been elected to national office.
For the record, there is no modern precedent for an American president effectively wielding security details as a political tool, stripping protection from those he deems unworthy. Its one of the many ways Trump is breaking new ground and not in a good way

This was beneath even DOGE's notice. But this is how a president now spends his time.
