President Donald Trump revoked former Vice President Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection in a letter dated Thursday.
Under federal law, former vice presidents receive six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office. CNN reports that Harris’ standard coverage expired on July 21.

Trump’s order canceled that extension.
