President Donald Trump has ordered the termination of Secret Service protections for former President Joe Biden’s two adult children—Ashley Biden and Hunter Biden—citing the large size of their security details and the associated cost to taxpayers.

The move, announced on March 17 in a post on social media, is the latest in a series of terminations ordered by Trump for individuals whose Secret Service protections the president has deemed unnecessary or excessive. Others affected by similar decisions include former national security adviser John Bolton and former White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci.
