President Trump has pulled Secret Service protection from Hunter and Ashley Biden. Using his Truth Social account to announce the change, Trump said, “Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list.” According to reports, Hunter has 18 Secret Service agents on his junket to South Africa.
This move was foreshadowed earlier today when a reporter asked Trump if he was aware that Biden had a Secret Service detail with him in South Africa. His response was an ominous, ““I would say if there are 18 [Secret Service agents] with Hunter Biden, that will be something I look at this afternoon.”
Secret Service protection is governed by 18 US Code §3056:
(a) Under the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect the following persons:Â
 (1) The President, the Vice President (or other officer next in the order of succession to the Office of President), the President-elect, and the Vice President-elect.Â
(2) The immediate families of those individuals listed in paragraph (1).Â
(3) Former Presidents and their spouses for their lifetimes, except that protection of a spouse shall terminate in the event of remarriage.Â
(4) Children of a former President who are under 16 years of age. (5)Visiting heads of foreign states or foreign governments.Â
(6) Other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad when the President directs that such protection be provided.
By law, the details for Hunter and Ashley Biden should have been terminated at noon on January 20, freeing up 31 Secret Service agents to be something as a vanity item for the gits of perhaps the worst president in US history.
The news reached the younger Biden as he was vacationing in a $500 per night villa in Cape Town (Hunter Biden, Beset by Legal Woes, Flees to… South Africa? – RedState) after pleading poverty and homelessness to convince a judge to drop a civil suit he’d filed and seemed sure to lose.
