President Trump Terminates Secret Service Protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden

Decision affects security details of former President Joe Biden's adult children amid concerns over taxpayer expenses.
President Donald Trump has announced the immediate cessation of Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, the son and daughter of former President Joe Biden.

This decision impacts the security details assigned to both individuals, which reportedly included 18 agents for Hunter Biden and 13 agents for Ashley Biden.

The Secret Service, established in 1865, is mandated to protect the president, vice president, and their immediate families.

While former presidents and their spouses receive lifetime protection, their children are typically protected until the age of 16. However, extensions can be granted at the discretion of the sitting president.

Hunter Biden has been under Secret Service protection since June 2020, when Joe Biden became the Democratic presidential nominee.

Reports indicate that the Secret Service has incurred significant expenses to maintain this protection, including renting properties near Hunter Biden's residences.

For instance, in Malibu, California, the agency paid over thirty thousand dollars per month for a property adjacent to Hunter Biden's residence to serve as a command post.

Ashley Biden's protection detail has also been a subject of recent administrative actions.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, terminated a lease for an apartment in Philadelphia used by Secret Service agents assigned to her protection.

This move was part of a broader effort to reduce federal expenditures, affecting over seven hundred leases nationwide.

The Secret Service emphasized the essential nature of the Philadelphia apartment for their operations, stating that the lodging remains crucial for the agency’s ongoing protective detail for Ashley Biden, which extends through July.

The termination of Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden aligns with President Trump's recent actions concerning security details for former officials.

Notably, he revoked the Secret Service protection for John Bolton, a former national security adviser, earlier this year.

The Secret Service has confirmed that it will comply with the President's directive, and the process to withdraw the security details for Hunter and Ashley Biden is underway.

As of now, there has been no public response from Hunter or Ashley Biden regarding the termination of their Secret Service protection.
