US President Donald Trump  said  he is withdrawing Hunter Biden’s government bodyguards, extending his campaign of political retribution to Joe Biden’s son.

Trump announced the same measure against Ashley Biden, the former president’s daughter with former first lady Jill.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump asserted that Hunter Biden’s security detail is composed of as many as 18 people, calling it “ridiculous.”

 He said Hunter Biden was currently on vacation in South Africa and noted he had recently suspended US aid to the country over alleged rights violations.

Meanwhile, Federal law grants Secret Service protection to former presidents and their spouses, but only to their children if they are under age 16.

However, the White House has justified these actions, stating that people are not entitled to security protection and clearances for life.
