On August 29, a senior adviser to former Vice President Kamala Harris told NBC News that President Donald Trump had canceled her Secret Service detail.
“For their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety, the vice president is grateful to the United States Secret Service,” the adviser said.
While presidents and their spouses receive protection for life, vice presidents typically only receive it for six months after leaving office. However, in January, former President Joe Biden signed an executive memorandum extending Harris' protection from July 21 to 18 months. But up until now, the 82-year-old's order had never been made public.
“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 wrote in a letter titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security” that CNN was able to obtain on August 28.
Hunter and Ashley Biden, Biden's two children, had their Secret Service protection revoked by Trump in March.
At the time, Trump posted on Truth Social, "Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for a long time, all paid for by the United States taxpayer." "This detail has up to eighteen individuals, which is absurd!"
"He is currently on vacation in South Africa, of all places, where people's human rights have been seriously questioned," he added. As a result, South Africa is no longer on our list of nations that receive financial and economic aid. Please be aware that Hunter Biden will no longer be protected by the Secret Service as of right now. Ashley Biden, who has thirteen agents, will also no longer be on the list.
Harris, meanwhile, is currently embarking on a promotional tour for her recently released memoir, 107 Days, which details her brief presidential campaign.
Kamala wrote on Instagram about the book, which will be available in bookstores on September 23, that "writing 107 Days felt like living the campaign in reverse," going back in time and reliving every moment. There were deeper layers, silent reflections, and lessons learned behind every speech I gave, hand I shook, and story I shared while traveling.
“This book is not a rehash of our race,” she added. It is an honest and intimate story of my experience running the shortest presidential campaign in contemporary history. I'm so excited for you to read it.
