FOX 11 Los Angeles reported that elite officers from the police department have been pulled off cases to provide 24/7 security for former Vice President Kamala Harris.
President Donald Trump axed Harris’s Secret Service protection last month. He extended protection for former President Joe Biden.
When we reached out to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for comment, Bass’ office responded with a statement accusing Trump of “political retaliation.” Governor Gavin Newsom, who is in discussions to provide California Highway Patrol protection to Harris, is quoted as saying that “the safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”Former vice presidents usually get six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office. Harris’ had been extended to July 2026 by Biden until Trump canceled it last week. The decision comes as Harris is about to begin a book tour for her memoir, with involves making 15 stops around the world.Harris was the subject of elevated threat levels while she was vice president, but The Associated Press reports that recent threat intelligence assessments by the Secret Service found no credible threats.
Yeah, as the report stated, vice presidents receive six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office.
But can’t Harris pay for private security? Why must it be LAPD officers?
I’m going to guess Harris or whoever makes the decision chose this route to make Trump look bad.
