President Trump has taken a decisive step to end the long-standing taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection for Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, a move that underscores his commitment to fiscal responsibility and accountability. In a statement on Truth Social, President Trump announced, “Effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer.
There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned. Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance. Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden, who has 13 agents, will be taken off the list.”
This bold decision comes as Hunter Biden is reportedly vacationing in South Africa, a trip that has raised eyebrows given the timing of his legal troubles. According to the New York Post, Hunter Biden was scheduled to be deposed on March 10 in a case involving the infamous laptop scandal.
However, he unexpectedly requested the case to be dismissed just days before the deposition. The Post reported, “Ziegler’s lawyers have since speculated that Hunter was exaggerating the urgency of his financial problems and that he may have wanted to drop the case because he couldn’t make the deposition since he might be taking a three-month trip to South Africa, the native country of his wife, Melissa Cohen.”
Adding to the controversy, investigative journalist Laura Loomer obtained photos of Hunter Biden, his wife Melissa Cohen, and their son Beau enjoying a lavish vacation in Cape Town, South Africa, with a full Secret Service detail in tow.

Loomer confirmed, “I can confirm via my on-the-ground investigation that the US Secret Service is working with the US Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa, to provide US taxpayer-funded protection for Hunter Biden and his wife during their entire time in South Africa, and his Secret Service detail includes 12 agents per day.” She further revealed, “4 agents work to protect Hunter and his wife every 8 hours in 3 shifts, for a total of 12 Secret Service agents every day, ON US TAXPAYER DIME!”

The liberal media, often quick to defend the Biden family, has remained conspicuously silent on this issue. Instead of questioning the misuse of taxpayer dollars or the ethical implications of Hunter Biden’s actions, they continue to shield him from scrutiny
. President Trump’s decision to strip Hunter and Ashley Biden of their Secret Service protection is a refreshing reminder of his unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability. Unlike the Biden administration, which has been marred by scandals and questionable ethics, President Trump continues to prioritize the interests of the American people over political favoritism.
