- President Donald Trump has ordered the Secret Service to discontinue protection for former vice-president Kamala Harris.
- This directive revokes an order signed by former president Joe Biden in January, which had extended Harris's security until January 2026.
- Under normal circumstances, Harris's protective detail would have ended on 20 July, six months after her term concluded.
- The order comes ahead of Harris’s planned tour to promote her new memoir, 107 Days, in September.
- Trump has previously used his authority over the Secret Service to remove protective details for perceived political adversaries, including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.
