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.’
