President Donald Trump has officially revoked Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden, 55, and Ashley Biden, 43, effective immediately. The decision, announced by Trump himself, puts an end to taxpayer-funded security details for the adult children of former President Joe Biden, a privilege that had extended well beyond the norm.
Trump Slams Wasteful Spending on Biden Family Security
Trump revealed that Hunter Biden had been receiving extensive Secret Service protection, with reports indicating as many as 18 agents assigned to him. Even more concerning, Hunter recently used this taxpayer-funded security while vacationing in South Africa, a country that the U.S. has recently severed financial ties with over human rights concerns.
“This is absolutely ridiculous,” Trump stated, making it clear that the American people should not be footing the bill for Hunter Biden’s luxury travel and legal troubles.
Ashley Biden was also receiving an outsized security detail, with 13 agents assigned to her. Trump’s decision terminates this unnecessary protection, reinforcing his administration’s focus on responsible government spending.
Biden’s Family Gets Special Treatment—Until Now
Under federal law, former presidents and their spouses receive lifetime Secret Service protection, while their adult children lose this privilege once they turn 16—unless extended by the sitting president. While Biden’s children had been granted an unusual extension, Trump has now put an end to this preferential treatment.
Trump made the decision after being questioned by reporters about Hunter Biden’s ongoing government-funded security, an issue he admitted he was previously unaware of but promised to address immediately. True to his word, the protections have been stripped.
Trump Restores Accountability
Trump’s move sends a clear message: no more special treatment for the Biden family at the expense of American taxpayers. Unlike the corruption and nepotism that plagued the Biden administration, Trump is prioritizing fairness, accountability, and responsible use of government resources.
The days of Hunter Biden’s extravagant security details, courtesy of the American people, are over. Under Trump’s leadership, the government works for the people—not for political elites and their families.
