Pres. Trump CANCELS Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection quietly extended by Biden ahead of her nationwide book tour
[MAIL] President Donald Trump revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday as she prepares for a nationwide book tour.

Harris received six months of protection from the Secret Service after leaving office as required by federal law.

However, shortly before leaving office then-President Joe Biden quietly extended her protection by an additional year in an undisclosed directive not revealed until now, according to a CNN report.

Trump canceled the protection in a Thursday letter entitled ‘Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security.’

'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,' Trump's letter reads.

Under the the 2008 Former Vice President Protection Act, past vice presidents are entitled to six-month taxpayer-funded Secret Service Protection.

Typically when the six-month protection expires, former vice presidents pay for their own private security. Other than Harris, the only other former vice president to receive protection beyond the six-months was Dick Cheney after requesting approval from then-President Barack Obama in 2009.

Trump's sudden removal of his 2024 rival’s protection will have immediate ramifications as Harris prepares to launch a nationwide book tour next month for her upcoming memoir ‘107 days.’

#1 Nobody's gonna buy the book anyway. No doubt she's already made all the money she's gonna make on it from the publisher's advance. And who paid the publisher to even bother with it? Hmmmm?
