Trump withdraws Secret Service protection for ex-Vice President Kamala Harris
(MENAFN) President Donald Trump has withdrawn US Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior White House official confirmed Friday.
A letter reviewed by a news agency indicates that Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to halt “any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law” for Harris, effective September 1. By law, former vice presidents are entitled to six months of protection, which expired on July 21. However, Harris’ security detail had been extended for an additional year under a directive quietly issued by then-President Joe Biden before leaving office.
Trump’s order cancels that extension. The move comes as Harris prepares for a nationwide book tour to promote her memoir, "107 Days," which recounts her 2024 presidential campaign against Trump and is scheduled for release on September 23.
