Trump cancels Kamala Harris’ Secret Service detail that was extended by undisclosed Biden order
CNN ^

Posted on 08/29/2025 5:45:39 AM PDT by TigerClaws

President Donald Trump revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection on Thursday, according to a copy of a letter reviewed by CNN.

Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life. Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law. That period ended on July 21. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year via a directive – not made public until now – signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.

That is the order Trump canceled in his letter, titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security” and dated Thursday.

“You are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,” the letter reads in full.

The White House and Secret Service did not immediately respond to CNN’s requests for comment.

Trump’s ending of Harris’ protection comes as she soon embarks on a multi-city, high-profile book tour around the release of “107 Days,” her new memoir on her short presidential campaign, set to be released September 23. That will put her more in the public spotlight than she has been since leaving office, during which time she’s attended only a few public events.

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” Kirsten Allen, a Harris senior adviser, told CNN.

Biden put a lot of scumbags to work in his final six months. Trump and his team are having a hell of a time trying to fumigate the government and get rid of Bidenskyyyy’s “resister” and “obstructionist” insurrectionists.

Biden did not put a lot of scumbags to work.

His staff and those with the auto pen put a lot of scumbags to work.

Biden is completely unaware of what went forward as authorized by the auto pen.

I guess the gist of the article is that Orange Man Bad because he took away her freebie Security just when she was about to be super popular after her book release. Other than that, i failed to grasp the significance of the story, even if it is true (un-named sources so none of it might be true).

Instead of firing the Secret Service DEI hires, they should have been assigned to cover Obama and so on.

Biden and Pence had 6 months of protection post their vice-presidencies. i believe that is federal law.

Prepare for the cries of racism against Trump for taking the secret service away from Kamala.

An extension of her security detail, not made public, likely because even Auto-POTUS wasn’t aware of it.

It seems like Kamala wrote a book to make a lot of money

At the same time she wants taxpayers to pay for her security as she travels and has public appearances to promote that book

If security costs more while promoting a book, let the profits from the book pay for the security

Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, have an estimated net worth of approximately $8 million. She’s a black democrat woman, so I doubt that anyone is out to get her. In any case, she can afford to pay for her own protection. If her book tour goes to primarily blue cities, my guess is she’ll tap the local blue city mayor/PD to give her protection.

Someone posted that she was abusive to her SS detail. Does anyone have any information on that???

Also, too bad so sad this happened just before she is going on a 17 city coloring book promotion tour that is starting on Sept 24.
