Overview
- During a Jan. 20 briefing, the administration circulated a “365 wins” packet listing as #243: “Stripped notorious crackhead and grifter Hunter Biden of his taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail.”
- The document was later posted on the official White House website, which had already featured partisan content in a “Major Events Timeline.”
- Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden was removed in March after Trump’s return to office, a step that is permissible for adult children of presidents.
- Coverage contextualized the language with Hunter Biden’s public struggles and legal history, including a 2023 conviction and a subsequent pardon by Joe Biden.
- Reporters also noted other controversial entries and omissions in the list, citing items like ending paper straws, a WHO withdrawal, releases of historical records, and no reference to Jeffrey Epstein documents.
