Democratic lawmakers, led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, introduced the DISGRACED Act, a bill that could strip former President Donald Trump of Secret Service protection if convicted of a felony. This legislation comes in the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot and has sparked a range of reactions, with some questioning the motives behind the bill and others supporting it as a necessary step to hold Trump accountable for his actions. The bill, if passed, would amend the Former Presidents Act, which currently provides lifelong Secret Service protection to former presidents.
would reform the U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission by automatically terminating Secret Service protection for those who have been sentenced to prison following conviction for a Federal or State felony—clarifying that prison authorities would be responsible for the protection of all inmates regardless of previous Secret Service protection.
.This legislation is co-sponsored by Reps. Troy A. Carter Sr., Barbara Lee, Frederica Wilson, Yvette D. Clarke, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, and Steve Cohen
