Trump's corrupt extended secret service protection [View all]

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.
