President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is immediately terminating Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, the adult children of former President Joe Biden. This decision reverses the six-month extension of their protective details that Joe Biden had authorized before leaving office in January.
Trump expressed concerns over the number of agents assigned to the Bidens, stating that 18 agents were protecting Hunter Biden during his trip to South Africa, and 13 agents were assigned to Ashley Biden. He criticized these allocations as excessive and an unnecessary burden on taxpayers.
The Secret Service acknowledged Trump’s directive, stating they are working with the protective details and the White House to ensure compliance as swiftly as possible.
There has been no immediate response from Joe Biden’s office regarding this development.
