Tue Mar 18 01:29:46 UTC 2025: ## Trump Ends Secret Service Protection for Biden Children

**Washington, D.C. – March 18, 2025** – President Donald Trump announced Monday the immediate termination of Secret Service protection for the adult children of former President Joe Biden. Trump cited the high number of agents assigned to Hunter Biden’s detail in South Africa (18 agents) and Ashley Biden’s detail (13 agents) as the reason for his decision.

While former presidents and their spouses are entitled to lifelong Secret Service protection, coverage for their adult children typically ends upon leaving office. Both Trump and Biden had previously extended this protection for six months. Trump’s decision reverses this extension. There has been no immediate response from the Biden family or former President Biden’s office. The announcement follows a reporter’s question to President Trump earlier in the day about the possibility of revoking Hunter Biden’s protection.
