"Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, brought forth the "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act"—or the DISGRACED Act—on Friday that would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals convicted of either state or local felonies.
"Trump is specifically mentioned by Thompson as someone whose protection privileges would be affected should he be found guilty as the former president faces four criminal indictments. Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, became the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case that began on Monday.
"Following an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, Trump was indicted in March 2023 on charges of falsifying business records relating to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Daniels alleges that she had an affair with Trump in 2006, which he has denied. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and said the case against him is politically motivated.
"In a Sunday interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz, a member of Trump's legal team during his first impeachment in 2020 who is also a constitutional law and criminal lawyer, discussed the legislation, which is co-sponsored by eight Democratic representatives." . . .
