U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday revoked secret service protection for former president Joe Biden's children Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden.

The Trump administration previously revoked Secret Service protection for a number of high-level former Biden officials, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

March 17 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Monday said he "immediately" revoked Secret Service protection for two of former president Joe Biden's children, Ashley and Hunter.

President Donald Trump said Monday he was ending “immediately” the Secret Service protection details assigned to Democrat Joe Biden's adult children, which the former president had extended to July shortly before leaving office in January. The Republican president on social media objected to what he said were 18 agents assigned to Hunter Biden's protective detail while in South Africa this week. Former presidents and their spouses receive life-long Secret Service protection under federal law, but the protection afforded to their immediate families over the age of 16 ends when they leave office.
