  • Donald Trump announced the end of Secret Service protection for Biden's children, Hunter and Ashley. This decision was made after Trump expressed concern about the number of agents assigned to protect Biden's children.
  • Hunter Biden had 18 agents, and Ashley Biden had 13. Trump considered this to be excessive and decided to terminate their protection immediately.
  • The protection was supposed to last until July 2025, but it was ended earlier. It is not known if other security measures will be taken.

Donald Trump announced the decision during a press conference at the Kennedy Centre. He expressed concern over the number of agents assigned to protect Biden's children, which prompted him to take immediate action.

Trump's decision means that Hunter and Ashley will now need to manage their own security. This is an unusual move as Secret Service protection for former presidents' children is often extended. It is not known if Joe Biden will implement any alternative security measures for his children.

Currently, there is no information on whether Trump plans to implement changes in Secret Service protection policy for other former presidential families. However, the decision regarding Biden's children is unusual and may spark further discussions about Secret Service protection rules.
