Kathmandu: The Trump administration has officially withdrawn the intelligence protection provided to former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. A White House official confirmed the development on Friday.

According to CNN, the security detail that Harris had received during the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination process under then-President Joe Biden expired on July 21. A senior aide to Harris stated that she was “grateful for the professionalism and dedication of the U.S. intelligence services.”

Harris Plans Public Comeback with Memoir

Harris has remained largely out of public life since her defeat in the presidential election. However, she is preparing to re-engage with the public through a nationwide book tour to promote her upcoming memoir titled “107 Days,” which chronicles her brief presidential campaign.

The book, published by Simon & Schuster, will be released in the United States on September 23. Harris promises readers a “behind-the-scenes account” of her short-lived presidential bid.

Political Backdrop and Trump’s Moves

Harris became the Democratic nominee after Joe Biden withdrew from the race due to health issues. Since assuming office in January, President Donald Trump has taken several controversial steps targeting perceived political opponents and critics.

These actions include stripping security clearances from former officials, targeting law firms that have sued his administration, and withholding federal funding from certain universities. Recently, the FBI even conducted a raid on the home and office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
