WASHINGTON — President Trump revoked Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service security detail on Monday after the former first son, surrounded by more than a dozen agents, was spotted on an “ultra-luxurious” getaway in South Africa when he was due for a deposition in court.

“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”

“He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,” the president added. “Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance.

“Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection,” Trump announced.

Hunter’s younger half-sister, Ashley Biden, and her taxpayer-funded security detail also drew the ire of the president.

" Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list,” Trump said.

Did Trump’s children have SS protection after his presidency?

“ This is bad precedent”

Agree.
It will get partisan and then something bad happens.

It turns out that this is normal, kids only get covered until age 16,

“Federal law requires former presidents and their spouses to receive life-long Secret Service protection and for immediate family members under 16. Protection also ends if the spouse remarries. The law was amended in 2013.

Trump and Biden extended details for their children for six months before leaving office.”

If Hunter wants guards to protect him, he can go to prison.

Now that was funny.

Like two or three assassination attempts on President Trump ?

This is bad precedent

Eighteen and thirteen agents on South African luxury vacations are waste, fraud, and abuse.

Not sure ‘strips’ and ‘Ashley Biden’ belong in the same headline as long as the criminal Xiden is still alive.

“ That horse is already out of the barn.”

We don’t need family members of Presidents being hunted down .
Everything like this that happens degrades our republic.
We are still a nation of rules and laws.
Trump is trying to get us back to that

Ok it looks like precedent has only been until the kids are 16.

The precedent is to protect minor children of former presidents.

Who is the Secret Service authorized to protect?

By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect:
