Democrats Introduce Bill to Revoke Trump’s Secret Service Protection Amid Legal Battles

Rep. Bennie Thompson, former head of the January 6 committee, is championing a new bill targeting President Donald Trump.

The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act, or HR 8081, aims to terminate Secret Service protection for individuals convicted of offenses punishable by at least one year in prison.

While Trump faces multiple legal challenges, including charges from Manhattan Attorney General Alvin Bragg, the bill raises questions about the provision of Secret Service protection to incarcerated individuals.

Critics, like Washington Examiner’s Byron York, argue the move could jeopardize Trump’s safety, suggesting it might be an attempt to expose him to danger.
