Trump Strips Hunter and Ashley Biden of Their Secret Service Details

President Donald Trump announced Monday he will “immediately” end Secret Service protection details for Joe Biden’s adult children, Hunter and Ashley Biden after he learned that Hunter had taken a lavish vacation to South Africa with up to 18 USSS agents to avoid a deposition in California.

While Trump was touring the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts earlier Monday, a reporter asked him about Hunter Biden’s Secret Service detail in South Africa.

“That will be something I’ll look at this afternoon. I just heard about it for the first time. Thank you very much,” Trump responded.

Normally, the Secret Service only protects the children of ex-presidents until they turn 16, but Joe Biden reportedly extended their protection to July shortly before leaving office.

In a Truth Social post later Monday afternoon, Trump said it was “ridiculous” that Hunter, 55, had as “many as 18” taxpayer-funded Secret Service agents on his detail.

“He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned. Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance,” the president wrote.

Trump signed an executive order last month to cut assistance to South Africa due to the country’s Expropriation Act which grants the government the power to take agricultural property away from ethnic minority Afrikaners without compensation.

“Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection,” Trump added. “Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list.”

Biden traveled to South Africa last week for a luxury vacation with an extensive round-the-clock Secret Service detail, the New York Post reported. According to the Post’s Miranda Devine, Hunter “fled” the country to avoid “a grueling deposition scheduled for this week in a California lawsuit.”

California District Court Judge Herman Vera granted Hunter’s motion to dismiss the case Thursday after the former first son claimed he was too broke to continue suing former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo.

But photographs show Hunter was already in Cape Town the day the case was dismissed, staying in a $500-a-night beachfront villa described on its website as an “ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea.”

Ziegler’s lawyers alleged to the court last week that Hunter had fled to South Africa to potentially “avoid his deposition in this case,” which was set for this week, after originally being planned for February.

“He was in South Africa before the judge even decided the case,” Ziegler said Friday. “That means he is assuming his daddy’s appointee is gonna rubber stamp what he wants.”

Hunter and his South African-born wife Melissa Cohen were spotted walking around the high-end shopping district of Cape Town with their Secret Service detail this week in photos provided to The Post by independent reporter Laura Loomer.

Approximately 31 agents were assigned to the scandal-prone Biden kids.

After Trump announced he was stripping them of their Secret Service details, Devine quipped on X: “Bet there are a lot of happy Secret Service Agents today.”
