President Donald Trump has canceled the former flaw.Details of the Secret Service of President Kamala HarrisSeven months after his departure after her unsuccessful presidential campaign.
According to the law, the US Secret Service provides former vice presidents and their families six months of defense after their conditions.
However, this term may be extended that former President Joe Biden was reportedly before leaving.
The move has already caused dispute, and California Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Los -Andgeles Karen Bass called him politically motivated.
That’s what we know.
So far, neither Biden nor Harris commented on the reasons for its safety over six months. CNN reported that Biden had expanded it with one year with a previously undisclosed directive before leaving.
From a legal point of view, Biden engaged in his rights.
According to the law adopted in 2008, the secret service can provide the protection of former vice presidents, their spouses and any children under the age of 16 after leaving the post.
While the law claims that the defense should not continue for more than six months, the secret security secretary has powers to order “temporary protection” in situations where “information or conditions guarantee such protection”.
Ronald Kesler, author who is engaged in secret service, said the BBC that “if you postpone political consequences, it’s just a common practice.”
Sources familiar with the current situation reported CBS, BBC news partner that the recent threat assessment has not revealed anything disturbing to guarantee the expansion of Harris security mechanisms.
But, as reportedly, some in the team of Harris worried that, as the first woman and the people who act as vice president and candidate in the controversial, emotionally accused elections, she faced additional threats.
A number of threats against Harris were published during his stay as a presidential candidate in 2024.
For example, in 2024, for example, in 2024, it was arrested and accused of threat on the Internet, and in 2021 a woman in Florida pleaded guilty against Harris and confessed that she had sent the video the most her gunshot and said that a “blow” could be carried out within 50 days.
In March, after Harris left the office, a man in Florida was also arrested after allegedly threatened to score her sniper rifle.
Mr. Kesler, however, said that compared to other politicians, Harris “is not so agitated as I can say”.
“I think this is a reasonable opinion on the part of the secret service,” he added.
The removal of Harris’s details takes place a few weeks before it is planned to start a long -term excursion to promote her book 107 days, focused on her short, unsuccessful presidential application.
According to Mr. Kesler, such an operation will further stretch already overloaded and insufficient secret service. In September, the agency is also responsible for international dignitaries and VIP -VIP -General Assembly in New York.
“This will require a dozen vehicles across the country to go through a big round,” he added. “This is a great plum of service.”
Protecting the secret service goes far beyond the agents who control the protection and protect them and their immediate family.
In addition, the secret service is instructed to provide homes such as Los -Andgeles Harris residence, including installation of security and alarm systems. Agents pre -determine and monitor potential threats, including electronically sent or through social media.
It is unclear how much these defense costs, and the secret service did not publish this figure.
Private security for famous celebrities, VIP leaders and business leaders can easily reach millions of dollars a year, depending on the level of necessary threats and protection.
For example, the meta reportedly paid more than $ 23 million ($ 17 million) for Mark Zuckerberg’s personal security in 2023, including $ 9.4 million.
After the removal of Harris’s details was announced, some of its allies and the political detractors of Trump immediately characterized this step as politically motivated by the president.
Trump has already removed the defense of secret service for former allies and enemies, including Hunter and Ashley Biden, children of the former president; and Anthony Fusy, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Several former Trump officials and allies have also been canceled, including ex-staff Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, a former national security adviser who became a vocal critic.
“The safety of our government officials should never be subject to the wrong, vindictive political impetus,” said Bob Saladey, a press -secretary of California Governor Gavin News, CNN.
Mr. Kesler said that “strongly subordinate” the secret service probably reorient his efforts on more immediate threats, such as those faced by Trump and his administration members.
“President Trump may have been joyful to do it,” he said. “But there are real sound practical reasons.”
It is believed that only one former vice president, Dick Cheney, has then President Barack Obama, who guards the secret service.
Unlike past vice presidents, those who have held the presidency have a life safety unless they decide.
In 1994 – to save costs – Congress passed to limit the protection of the former presidents and their spouses up to 10 years after they left the post.
But in 2013, President Obama again signed a law that obliges lifelong protection. Today, this applies to George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama and Biden.
As you know, only one President Richard Nixon decided to abandon the proposed security in 1985.
At the time, his staff members told The New York Times what it did to save money.
