Trump Cuts Hunter And Ashley Biden’s Secret Service Detail
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is revoking the Secret Service protective detail for President Joe Biden’s adult children.
Trump announced in a post on social media that the protective detail is being pulled effective immediately for both Hunter Biden, 55, and Ashely Biden, 43.
“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer,” Trump wrote. “There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”
“He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,” he continued. “Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection.”
Trump highlighted his administration’s recent actions against South Africa, including being taken off the list of countries receiving economic and financial assistance, due to its human rights abuses.
“Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list,” he added.
Former presidents and their spouses receive Secret Service protection for life, but protection that is provided to their children who are over the age of 16 stops when they leave office.
The move from Trump comes after he said in a post early Monday morning that he was nullifying pardons that Biden gave during his final days in office because there were questions about whether Biden actually signed them or if an autopen was used.
“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump wrote on social media shortly after midnight.
“In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!” Trump said. “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.”
“Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level,” he concluded. “The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!”
