Donald Trump and his administration have announced that they have withdrawn Secret Service protection from former Vice President Kamala Harris.
JUST IN: President Donald Trump revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection on Thursday, according to a copy of a letter reviewed by CNN.
The decision comes as Harris prepares to embark on a major promotional tour for her memoir 107 Days, about her brief 2024 presidential campaign, due for release on September 23.
According to the Washington Post, a senior White House official said the president sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on August 28, formally requesting the end of Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris, effective September 1.
Normally, outgoing vice presidents receive Secret Service protection for six months after the end of their term.
In view of the country’s unprecedented political tensions, Joe Biden had extended Kamala Harris’s protection for another year, until July 2026.
Trump’s decision will have a considerable impact on the life of Kamala Harris, who is about to embark on her book tour.
The end of her 24/7 federal protection could force Kamala Harris to hire private security for her tour, which begins on September 24 in New York and ends on November 20 in Miami, Florida.
In the meantime, she will visit California, Texas, Illinois, Alabama, Tennessee and even Canada.

JUST IN: Columbia University has agreed to pay more than $220 million in a deal with the Trump administration to restore federal funding to the school. cnn.it/41bvDfk
The move by the university is intended to bring closure to the Trump administration’s accusations of civil rights violations, particularly against Jewish students and staff, while allowing Columbia to recoup around $1.6 billion in federal funding that had been frozen.
However, the university acknowledges no wrongdoing in this agreement, reached under pressure from several federal agencies.
Many critics see it as a capitulation to the Trump administration, believing that these accusations are aimed above all at repressing pro-Palestine movements on campus, a priority stated by the administration as soon as it returns to power in January 2025.
While Columbia opted to strike a deal to quickly recover its funding, Harvard, the target of similar accusations, preferred to take the Trump administration to court, refusing to comply with the same demands despite the freezing of over $2 billion in federal funds.
Of the $220 million paid by Columbia, $200 million will go to the federal government as part of a civil settlement, and around $21 million will go to compensate Jewish students and employees who have filed discrimination claims.
Faced with the same accusations, Columbia chose agreement, Harvard confrontation, two opposing approaches that illustrate just how far universities are willing to go to defend their autonomy in the face of such political pressure.
Elon Musk will receive $29 billion in Tesla shares, a payment expected since 2018, after a Delaware judge blocked it on the grounds that the board was not impartial, shareholders were misinformed and the reward was excessive.
Tesla board awards $30bn of shares to Elon Musk
The board formally approved a new plan, similar to the 2018 one, presented as a symbolic reward for Elon Musk.
In trade, Tesla ensures that Elon Musk will remain at the helm of the company until 2027.
The board relies on a valid and more transparent shareholder vote to avoid a judge blocking Musk’s compensation again.
Tesla’s plan calls for 96 million shares for Elon Musk to buy at a fixed price of $23.34, as in Tesla’s original plan proposed in 2018.
The co-owner of Trump Burger, a recently opened restaurant in Houston, Texas, displaying strong patriotism towards Donald Trump, finds himself in an ironic situation, to say the least.

He is now facing deportation after being arrested by ICE, as part of the new immigration policies put in place by the Trump administration.
According to several local newspapers, Roland Mehrez Beainy, a 28-year-old man from Lebanon, had been living in the United States since 2019 on a visitor’s visa that expired last February.
He was reportedly arrested by ICE in May and has since been engaged in a deportation process.
If he thought the opening of the region’s fourth Trump Burger restaurant would keep him safe, Roland Mehrez Beainy was soon disillusioned.
ICE designated him in a statement as an « illegal alien » placed in immigration proceedings for failing to leave the country after his visitor’s visa expired.
