President Donald Trump terminated the Secret Service protection of former Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, according to a new report.
By law, vice presidents receive six months of protection after leaving office, which for Harris ended on July 21. However, her protection was extended for an additional year by former President Joe Biden. Trump’s decision comes just weeks before the failed leftist politician embarks on a tour to promote her new book.
“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,” according to a letter sent from the Trump administration to Harris.
The letter, titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security,” and dated Thursday, was first obtained by CNN, and the report was published Friday morning.
Under federal law, specifically the Former Vice President Protection Act of 2008, it established that a former vice president, their spouse, and any children under 16 are entitled to up to six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office. That date for Harris concluded on July 21.
After the initial six-month period, the Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to temporarily extend protection if deemed necessary due to credible threats or other conditions.
As for the Trump administration’s legal authority in this matter, it appears sound, since a memorandum authorizing DHS and the Secret Service to extend coverage beyond the statutory six months is not a permanent legal right. The only White House role entitled to lifetime protection under the law is that of the president.
The move comes just weeks before the failed leftist candidate embarks on a nationwide book tour to promote “107 Days,” a behind-the-scenes look at the shortest presidential campaign in history.
? Awesome !!! If you remember, an attempt was made to remove Ex-President Trump’s security because he was running for a second term. President’s and ex-presidents are guaranteed security for life along with their spouses.
Kackala didn’t deserve better than the DEI hires in the first place!
That picture of her is not one of her more sober moments.
