Donald Trump has revoked the protection of the “Secret Service”, the escort service of American presidents, for Kamala Harris. This was revealed by the CNN that cites a letter sent yesterday by the President to the Minister of National Security, Kristi Noem. The former presidents receive the protection of the secret services for life, while for the deputy the escort is limited by law six months after the end of the assignment. Technically Harris would no longer have been entitled to protection since July 21, but before leaving the White House, former president Joe Biden had postponed the expiry of a year. Trump, however, decided to revoke the extension.
“With this, it is authorized to stop any previously authorized security procedure” starting from September 1, reads the Memorandum signed by the President. The end of the protection comes just when Harris is about to start a lap of promotion of the book ‘107 Days’, on his short presidential campaign, to be released on September 23. “The vice -president is grateful to the United States Secret Service for his professionalism, dedication and unwavering commitment for security”, is the comment that Harris has entrusted to his councilor Kirsten Allen.
