President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior White House official confirmed on Friday. Typically, former vice presidents receive federal protection for six months after leaving office, while ex-presidents are protected for life.

However, a source familiar with the situation stated that then-President Joe Biden had signed a directive extending Harris's protection beyond the usual six-month period. This extension was not publicly disclosed. The individuals providing this information requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter.

Trump, a Republican, defeated Harris in the presidential election last year. The decision to terminate Harris's Secret Service detail comes as she prepares for a book tour promoting her memoir, "107 Days," which is set to be released next month.

A senior official from the Trump administration indicated that an executive memorandum was issued on Thursday to the Department of Homeland Security, officially ending Harris's security services. The Biden administration had previously extended her protection from six months to 18 months, which would have allowed it to continue until July 2026. Now, her protection will cease on Monday.

The political climate last year was particularly tense, with Trump facing two assassination attempts. The Secret Service played a vital role in ensuring the safety of the then-president. Harris, who previously served as California's attorney general and San Francisco's district attorney, recently announced that she will not run for governor next year.
