White House highlights end of Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection in ‘365 wins’ list

WASHINGTON, DC: The White House included the removal of Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection in a list of ‘365 wins’ from President Donald Trump’s first year of his second term as the POTUS, drawing attention and criticism from political observers and media on Tuesday.

The list described the former president’s son as a 'notorious crackhead and grifter.'

The official White House website listed this ‘365 wins’ starting with, “One year ago today, President Donald J Trump returned to office with a resounding mandate to restore prosperity, secure the border, rebuild American strength, and put the American people first.”

Hunter Biden called a ‘grifter’

In a printout distributed to reporters in the White House Briefing Room, the Trump administration listed '365 wins' from President Donald Trump’s first year of his second term.

At number 243, according to PBS White House correspondent Elizabeth Landers, was: “Stripped notorious crackhead and grifter Hunter Biden of his taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail.”

Hunter Biden and his sister Ashley previously received extended Secret Service protection following Joe Biden’s presidency, a practice that had become politically contentious.

In March 2025, President Trump announced the immediate termination of Secret Service protection for both Hunter and Ashley Biden, saying the previous detail included an unusually large number of agents, including 18 assigned to Hunter Biden’s security team.

Former presidents and their spouses receive life-long Secret Service protection under federal law, but the protection afforded to their immediate families over the age of 16 ends when they leave office. 

Biden had extended this protection for his children, and Trump did for his family after leaving office in 2021.

Other ‘wins’ also listed in the printout

Other 'wins' listed in the printout included 'signed an executive order to end the use of paper straws,' 'withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization', and releasing 'troves of previously classified records' related to the assassinations of former senator Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., and 'the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.'

The White House posted the list on its official website, where it had already brought up Hunter Biden’s issues with crack cocaine in the 'Major Events Timeline.'

Then, in October, the Trump administration updated that timeline with a handful of pointed attacks on former presidents.

It included former President Bill Clinton’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky, former President Barack Obama’s 'Muslim Brotherhood visit,' and former President Joe Biden's hosting of 'transexuals at the White House.'

The timeline included photos of a shirtless Hunter Biden under the influence of drugs, a transgender guest of the Biden administration flashing on the White House lawn, and Obama wearing a turban and traditional Kenyan clothes.
