In April, House Democrats introduced legislation aimed at stripping former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service protection. The bill, known as the 'DISGRACED Former Protectees Act,' was spearheaded by House Committee on Homeland Security ranking member Rep. Bennie Thompson (D., Miss.). Introduced on April 19, the legislation targets convicted felons, which would include Trump if he were convicted. This move, which occurred just 90 days ago, has sparked significant controversy and debate, with critics arguing that it leaves Trump vulnerable to potential threats.
