Trump's corrupt extended secret service protection

So Trump extended 24/7 Secret Service protection for 14 people, including his entire family, Steve Mnuchin, Mark Meadows, etc.

Since when do former Cabinet officials and Chiefs of Staff get extended Secret Service protection? How did Trump even do that? Was it an Executive Order?

Is there a way for Biden to revoke that protection? It's absurd that taxpayers are paying for another 6 months of secret service protection for 14 people.

So - we've 'protected their A$$ES' for the past 4 years while they've flown around the world 'trying' to build even more worthless hotels, arrange crooked deals with international thieves, and kill animals just to add to their trophy cases - all under super-protection from OUR government - and now the F**KERS get more time with that coverage before they have to report for their arraignments and trials?

Somehow - this is just not right!

And in the interim, insist the Secret Service gets to use the Mar-a-Lago toilets or else.
