US media: Former US Vice President Harris previously received extended security protection, Trump ordered to revoke
On local time September 29, the US cable news network (CNN) cited a copy of a memo report that US President Trump revoked the security protection for former Vice President Harris on the 28th.
According to US federal law, former presidents are entitled to lifelong protection by the Secret Service, while former vice presidents can receive six months of security protection after leaving office. Harris's security protection was supposed to end on July 21 this year.
However, according to several informed sources, based on an order signed by former President Biden shortly before leaving office, Harris's protected period has been extended by an additional year, and this directive has not been made public yet.
CNN said that on the 28th, Trump revoked the extended security protection for Harris in a "Memo to the Secretary of Homeland Security."
The document states, "This is authorized to terminate, as of September 1, 2025, all security-related procedures authorized by the administrative memo that are beyond the legal provisions, involving the former Vice President Kamala Harris."
For this, the White House and the Secret Service did not immediately respond. Regarding why Biden signed the directive to extend Harris's security protection, Biden's spokesperson refused to comment.
Harris's senior advisor Kirsten Allen responded, "The Vice President thanks the U.S. Secret Service for its professionalism, dedication, and consistent commitment to safety."
