The Bidens have been skirting the law for years. Now their time is up.
And Trump made Hunter Biden’s life a nightmare with this sudden order.
In a bold move, President Trump yanked the Secret Service protection from Hunter and Ashley Biden on Monday, following reports of the former first son gallivanting around South Africa in lavish style while dodging a court deposition.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump blasted, “Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”
The president didn’t hold back, pointing out Hunter’s plush vacation spot: “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.”
Trump dropped the hammer, declaring, “Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection.”
And he didn’t stop there—Hunter’s half-sister Ashley, 43, got the same treatment. “Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list,” he added.
The Secret Service scrambled to keep up, with spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi stating, “We are aware of the President’s decision to terminate protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden.
The Secret Service will comply and is actively working with the protective details and the White House to ensure compliance as soon as possible.”
Sources told the New York Post that agents can’t ditch their posts until Trump’s order is officially inked, with the process kicking off Tuesday to strip the Biden siblings of their taxpayer-funded shields.
The decision came hot on the heels of Trump hinting earlier that day he’d eyeball Hunter’s detail. “I would say if there are 18 [Secret Service agents] with Hunter Biden, that will be something I look at this afternoon,” he told a reporter at the Kennedy Center.
Hunter, meanwhile, was living it up in a $500-a-night Cape Town villa billed as an “ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea.” This, after pleading poverty in a lawsuit he later dropped against Garrett Ziegler, the ex-White House aide who spilled the beans on Hunter’s notorious “laptop from hell.”
Photos caught Hunter strolling Cape Town with his wife Melissa Cohen, shopping and soaking in the high life with his federal posse in tow. Ziegler didn’t mince words, telling the New York Post, “Trump should strip his Secret Service protection, which he is not entitled to, and make Joe Biden, who is collecting three handsome federal pensions, foot the bill.”
Ziegler also called for federal prosecutor Derek Hines, recently promoted after working Hunter’s tax fraud and gun cases, to get the boot.
Hunter’s protection stemmed from a special order by his dad, former President Joe Biden, despite adult kids of presidents not automatically scoring Secret Service details. Trump, 78, also griped about South Africa’s land grabs from farmers, a move that axed U.S. aid to the country.
“South Africa, you know, is on a watch list… what they’re doing to people is brutal, and I’ve stopped having money go to South Africa. You know that’s billions of dollars,” he said.
“So he’s in South Africa. That’s really interesting. All right, I’m going to take a look at that.”
The Secret Service confirmed Hunter’s protection Friday but stayed mum on agent numbers. Trump’s already shown he’s not afraid to cut security cords—he did it to Mike Pompeo and John Bolton after taking office.
“When you have protection, you can’t have it for the rest of your life,” he told reporters in January. “Do you want to have a large detail of people guarding people for the rest of their lives? I mean, there’s risks to everything.”
