It is not clear if Donald Trump knew about some members of his family close relationship with agents of the Secret Service. Even if there was a credible risk to family and associates of Trump. The additional Secret Service ends July 21, which is probably a good thing for taxpayers.

Though secret service agents are not allowed to form personal relationships with those they protect, the agent involved did not face disciplinary action as neither he nor the agency were official guardians of Vanessa Trump at that point.Īnother family member, Tiffany Trump was also “spending an unusual amount of time alone with a Secret Service agent on her detail,” after she broke up with her boyfriend Leonnig writes. In the book, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, Leonnig writes that Vanessa Trump, the now ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr, started dating an agent who had been assigned to her family shortly after the couple’s divorce in 2018. President Donald Trump speaks with the media after. The sources described the security arrangements while speaking on conditions of anonymity. The exception is in the case of Barron Trump, who is currently 13 years old - when Trump leaves office in January 2021, Barron will remain entitled to Secret Service protection until he reaches 16 years of age. Trump specified that he wanted every family member who had been protected by the Secret Service during his administration to receive an additional six months of coverage, according to those familiar with his directive.

The Guardian has obtained a copy of a new book, written by award winning Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig, that claims that at least two members of Donald Trump’s family got “inappropriately close” to secret service agents while they were in the White House. The White House Communications Agency assigns each member of the first family a code name for Secret Service agents to use while in office. Thus, Trump and Melania will continue to receive Secret Service protection for the remainder of his life, but most of his children will lose their protection as soon as Trump’s Presidency ends.
