President Donald Trump announced the immediate termination of Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, children of former President Joe Biden. Trump criticized the extensive taxpayer-funded security details, noting that Hunter had 18 agents during a South African vacation, and Ashley had 13 agents assigned. He deemed these allocations excessive and ordered their cessation. Under federal law, former presidents and their spouses receive lifelong Secret Service protection, while their children over 16 lose protection upon leaving office. However, both Trump and Biden had extended their children's protection for six months post-presidency. The Secret Service confirmed awareness of Trump's decision and is coordinating with the White House to implement the changes promptly.
