Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has revoked U.S. Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior adviser to Harris told NBC News on Friday.

…

A senior White House official confirmed Friday that Trump revoked Harris’ Secret Service detail, adding that vice presidents typically only get six months of protection when they leave office.

Congress passed legislation in 2008 that authorized the Secret Service to protect former vice presidents, their spouses and their children under 16 years old for up to six months after the vice president’s term has ended.

A Secret Service official told NBC that while that's true, President Joe Biden had signed an executive memorandum in January extending Harris’ protection to 18 months.
