Turin, 29 August. (LaPresse) – President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris, according to a copy of a letter seen by CNN. Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life. Harris, as former vice president, was legally entitled to six months of protection after leaving office, a period that ended on 21 July. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year thanks to a directive, never made public until now, signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving the White House, according to several sources familiar with the confidential agreement. It is that order that Trump has cancelled in his letter, titled “Memorandum to the Secretary of Homeland Security” and dated Thursday. ‘You are hereby authorised to terminate any security procedures previously authorised by executive memorandum, other than those required by law, for the following individual, effective 1 September 2025: former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,’ reads the full text of the letter.
