Trump revokes Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden
CBSN
Washington — President Trump on Monday said he was revoking Secret Service protection for former President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, "effective immediately." Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, will also lose her Secret Service detail, Mr. Trump said.
"Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!" Mr. Trump wrote, noting that the former president's son was vacationing in South Africa, where his wife is from. "Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list."
Secret Service chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement the agency was "aware of the President's decision to terminate protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden. The Secret Service will comply and is actively working with the protective details and the White House to ensure compliance as soon as possible."
