WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said on Monday that the Democrat that was “immediately” eliminating the details of the Secret Service Protection Assigned to Biden’s adult children, which the former president extended shortly before his departure in January.
On social media, the Republican president objected that he had assigned 18 agents this week for Hunter Biden’s security details in South Africa. He said that 13 agents have been assigned to Ashley Biden for its details and they will be “removed from the list.”
There was no immediate response from the former president’s office.
Former presidents and their spouses still protect secret services under federal law, but when they leave their office, their nearest families have to protect their nearest families at the age of 16. But outgoing presidents can extend protection for those who cannot be eligible for six months after leaving their post, Biden did something for his children and Trump did for his family after leaving his office in 2021. Former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush also extended their family protection for a period.
The agency said in a statement, “We are aware of the president’s decision to end the protection of Hunter and Ashley Biden.” “The Secret Service will comply with it and is actively working with security details and the White House to ensure as soon as possible.”
While visiting John F. Kennedy Center for performing arts on Monday afternoon, a reporter asked Trump if he would cancel the protection of the former president’s son.
Trump said, “Well, we have done this with many people. I would say that if Hunter Biden is 18, then this will be something I will see this afternoon,” Trump said, “Trump said, who added that the first time he had heard about the matter.
“I will take a look at it,” he said.
