image for Trump cancels Kamala Harris’ Secret Service detail that was extended by undisclosed Biden order

President Donald Trump revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection on Thursday, according to a copy of a letter reviewed by CNN.

Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law.

However, her protection had been extended for an additional year via a directive – not made public until now – signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.

That is the order Trump canceled in his letter, titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security” and dated Thursday.

The order to remove Harris’ detail came from the White House, one official with the Secret Service told CNN.

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” Kirsten Allen, a Harris senior adviser, told CNN.

A Biden spokesperson declined to comment on what led to his signing the order extending Harris’ protection. »
