Trump ENDS Secret Service protection for Biden children after learning of ‘ridiculous’ cost to taxpayers

President Donald Trump removed Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service detail, citing Hunter’s recent trip to South Africa as the reason. 

Joe Biden gave his children six months of Secret Service protection after he left office. It’s not an unusual move by a president. Trump gave his children six months of protection after his first term.

But Trump blasted Biden’s son for going to South Africa and taking his detail, citing the high cost to the U.S. taxpayer. Hunter’s wife Melissa Cohen is originally from South Africa. 

The president’s announcement came hours after a reporter asked Trump about Hunter’s detail. The president said he had not been aware of it but would look into it. 

‘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,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Hunter Biden fled to ‘ultra-luxurious’ vacation in South Africa with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding grueling deposition

Hunter Biden fled last week to South Africa for a luxury vacation — with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding a grueling deposition scheduled for this week in a California lawsuit.

California District Court Judge Herman Vera granted Hunter’s motion to dismiss the case Thursday after the former first son claimed he was too broke to continue suing former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo.

But photographs show Hunter was already in Cape Town the day the case was dismissed, staying in a $500-a-night beachfront villa described on its website as an “ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea.”

Ziegler’s lawyers alleged to the court last week that Hunter had fled to South Africa to potentially “avoid his deposition in this case,” which was set for this week, after originally being planned for February.

“He was in South Africa before the judge even decided the case,” Ziegler said Friday. “That means he is assuming his daddy’s appointee is gonna rubber stamp what he wants.”

President Trump Says “Either Joe or Hunter” Left Cocaine at The White House, “I Think I’ll Look Into That”

President Trump, in his latest sit-down interview with The Spectator’s Ben Domenech, revealed either Joe or Hunter Biden left the cocaine that was discovered inside a bin at the White House’s West Wing.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a bag of cocaine was discovered at the West Wing of the White House in July 2023.

Investigators had a partial DNA hit at the time.

The Biden Administration ended their investigation without finding the culprit.

The topic of the cocaine at the White House was brought up by Domenech, The Spectator’s editor at large when he asked President Trump, “Who actually left the cocaine in the White House?”

Trump, without any hesitation, responded, “Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too.”

The 47th President added, “OK, so that was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with… they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints.”

Domenech then followed up Trump’s remarks by sharing, “I was briefly a Bush speechwriter. And so I knew exactly what they were talking about. And I was like, ‘Those things are filthy.’ They’re filthy.”

Trump responded, “And there were fingerprints…. Everybody in there would leave a fingerprint when they went in and that thing was wiped out with, with the strongest form of alcohol.”

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge reveals photos of files on Hunter Biden, COVID origins seized by network: ‘Attack on investigative journalism’

Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of the confidential files seized by the network — which “included sensitive reporting about COVID-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”

The award-winning investigative journalist — who was dismissed last February as part of wider layoffs by embattled parent company Paramount Global — stirred up a firestorm in her bid to regain the materials before the network gave back the items weeks later.

“Exactly one year ago, @CBSNews returned my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.

“Today, I am releasing photos of the records for the first time so you can see the sheer volume involved.”

One photo showed stacks of folders next to a Home Depot-labeled box.

Herridge wrote that the material encompassed four large moving boxes weighing over 100 pounds in total that were seized by the network.

Herridge referred to CBS News’ actions as a “journalistic rape” and “an attack on investigative journalism.”

“I hope no investigative reporter has to suffer a similar injustice in the future,” she added.

A CBS News spokesperson declined to comment.

The incident led to a hearing last April by a House Judiciary subcommittee, titled “Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and Their Sources.”

Now We Know the Shocking Truth About the 51 Intel Officials’ Role in Hunter Biden’s Laptop!

We all remember how, in the fall of 2020, the Biden campaign scrambled to discredit the New York Post’s bombshell report on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” Just days before a crucial debate, they enlisted 51 former intelligence officials to sign a letter suggesting the laptop was Russian disinformation—giving Biden the perfect excuse to dismiss the story when Trump confronted him. That letter also handed Big Tech the justification to censor the story across social media, making it one of the most brazen examples of election interference in U.S. history.

On his first day back in office, Trump revoked the security clearances of those 51 officials. Since then, they’ve spun excuse after excuse—including the laughable claim that they never actually called the laptop Russian disinformation. But now, a leaked email from John Brennan, one of the key signers, exposes the truth. Not only did these officials back the letter, but they did so with the explicit goal of helping Biden mislead the public. It’s a damning revelation that confirms their role in manipulating the election narrative.

On October 19, 2020, former CIA Director Mike Morell sent Brennan a copy of the letter, asking if he could add his name to the list, before explicitly stating he was “trying to give the [Biden] campaign, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this.”

Brennan replied within 20 minutes, telling Morrell, “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.”

New Documents: Hunter Biden’s Name, Signature Tied To $60 Million Fraud Investigation

Recently pardoned Hunter Biden has once again found himself at the center of controversy, as newly surfaced bank records and corporate documents indicate that a shared bank account linked to the future first son was used in a fraudulent bond transaction tied to Burnham Asset Management. The firm was involved in a million-dollar securities fraud that saw two of Biden’s business partners arrested and convicted – while Hunter escaped accountability, Just the News reports.

Hunter’s former business partners, Devon Archer and Jason Galanis, were convicted for their roles in a scheme that defrauded an Oglala Sioux Native American tribal entity of tens of millions of dollars. Federal authorities found that instead of investing the funds as promised, Archer, Galanis, and their associates misappropriated the bond proceeds.

While Archer and Galanis faced prosecution, Hunter quickly faded into the bushes, telling lawmakers in his impeachment inquiry deposition that his proposed role in the company “never came to fruition.” However, bank records and a signature analysis reveal that Biden was more entangled with the firm than he has publicly acknowledged.

Trump Vows to Revoke Security Clearances for 51 Former Intel Officials Who Peddled Hunter Biden Laptop ‘Russian Disinfo’ Hoax

In yet another move to drain the swamp, President Donald Trump has vowed to revoke the security clearances of the 51 former intelligence officials who notoriously signed a letter dismissing Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation—a claim that has since been debunked.

Trump plans to revoke the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who, in October 2020, signed a letter suggesting that reports about Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

This action is set to occur on Trump’s first day in office as part of a series of more than 200 executive orders that will be signed on Monday, according to Fox News.

It can be recalled that during the second presidential debate in 2020, Joe Biden and hack reporter Kristen Welker from ABC teamed up against President Trump.

At one point, Joe Biden interrupted Welker for his planned response to the Hunter Biden ‘Laptop from Hell’ scandal. Joe Biden told the audience 50 intelligence leaders signed a letter saying the laptop was “Russian propaganda.”

This was a lie and Joe Biden knew it was a lie.

New Information Shows CIA Contractors Colluded with the Biden Campaign to Discredit Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Committee on the Judiciary, and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released a joint interim staff report titled, “The Intelligence Community 51: How CIA Contractors Colluded with The Biden Campaign to Mislead American Voters.”

The report reveals new information detailing how the highest levels of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), up to and including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, were made aware of the “Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails” by 51 former intelligence officials prior to its approval and publication. The report reveals important new facts, such as how some of the statement’s signatories, including former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, were on active contract with the CIA at the time they issued the Hunter Biden statement to discredit damaging allegations about Biden family influence peddling just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

“The House Intelligence Committee’s work provided us with solid direct evidence that in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to falsely cast doubt on an explosive New York Post story and label Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop as ‘Russian disinformation.’ The Committee worked to obtain classified documents from the CIA, including emails, and fought to include evidence of these materials in our report,” said Chairman Mike Turner.

“We knew that the rushed statement from the 51 former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the Biden campaign and the intelligence community. Now with this interim report, we reveal how officials at the highest levels of the CIA were aware of the statement and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA. The report underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.

Joe Biden Inadvertently Admits His Son Hunter Committed Crimes After Reporter Asks Him Gotcha Question 

Did Joe Biden inadvertently admit his son Hunter committed crimes?

Joe Biden on Friday evening delivered remarks on today’s jobs report and his dumpster fire economy.

The US ‘unexpectedly’ added 256,000 jobs in December.

Americans are still unemployed, underemployed or forced to work multiple jobs to make ends meet because of Joe Biden.

But Biden took a victory lap Friday evening during his remarks on the jobs report.

Following his remark, Biden took some questions from reporters.

One reporter asked Biden a ‘gotcha’ about last-minute pardons.

“Sir, on pardons, have you ruled out a pardon for yourself or any other additional members of the family,” a reporter asked Biden.

“Why should I pardon myself? No, I have no contemplation of pardoning myself. I didn’t do anything wrong,” a peeved Joe Biden said.

Biden claims he ‘meant what I said’ with promise not to pardon Hunter, hopes it doesn’t set precedent

President Biden still claims he “meant what I said” when he pledged not to pardon his son Hunter, admitting in a new interview that he hoped it didn’t set a precedent for future presidents to “abuse” pardon powers.

The president repeatedly promised not to pardon his son before reversing course last month and granting clemency to Hunter for all offenses against the United States he committed or may have committed from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. It also spared him from sentencing on federal cases involving federal tax charges and felony gun charges. 

The move outraged even some of Biden’s own supporters after he’d been praised by Democrats and media liberals for upholding the integrity of the justice system by not using his influence to help his own family.

In an exit interview with USA Today published Wednesday, he defended one of his most controversial moves in office, while appearing, according to the transcript, to forget the timeline of his son’s actions.
