– Donald Trump Jr. and Kellyanne Conway Lose Secret Service Protection. (Newsweek) – The president’s son Donald Trump Jr. and senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway will no longer be protected by the Secret Service, offering relief to the agency’s stretched budget. The president’s oldest son has elected not to be protected by the agency, which stopped following him last week, as he seeks more privacy, a senior Trump administration official told The New York Times. Trump Jr. has told friends that he wants more privacy than what is available under a 24-hour security detail, two sources briefed on the decision told The Washington Post Monday. By law, the Secret Service must protect the president’s extended family.
Conway will also lose protection from the Secret Service. This, however, is in response to changing threat assessments, an official briefed on the decision told the Times. Conway, who is a counselor to President Trump, received several threats after the inauguration.
