President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden, the adult children of former President Joe Biden.
Trump announced the decision on social media, criticizing the cost and extent of Hunter Biden’s security detail, particularly during his vacation in South Africa. The move has sparked controversy, as Trump's own children received extended Secret Service protection after his first term ended in 2021. Critics argue that the decision is politically motivated, while supporters claim it is a cost-saving measure.
The revocation is effective immediately.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for lifelong security for politicians’ families, no matter who they are. If Trump’s kids got it after his term, then Biden’s kids should too—or better yet, let’s stop wasting money on all of them.
