Trump said Monday on Truth Social Hunter Biden has “as many as 18 people on his detail, which is ridiculous” and Ashley Biden “has 13 agents.”
Trump made the announcement after he said in February he would revoke Biden’s security clearances and stop his daily intelligence briefings after Biden also prevented Trump from receiving daily intelligence briefings after leaving office, citing his role in contesting the results of the 2020 election.
The Trump administration has revoked Secret Service protection for a number of his political nemeses since taking office, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former National Security Advisor John Bolton and former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci.
Biden officials, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, also had their security clearances revoked earlier this month.
