WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris. That’s according to a senior White House official. Former vice presidents typically get federal government protection for six months after leaving office, while ex-presidents do so for life. But another person familiar with the matter says then-President Joe Biden quietly signed a directive that had extended protection for Harris beyond the traditional six months. The people insisted on anonymity Friday to discuss a matter not made public.
