1. Something I'm waiting to get a response on.

Did Trump, as his predecessors have done, extend Secret Service protection for his family.

He & Mrs. Trump get protection for life. Barron Trump gets it until he's 16

But TBD if he signed an EO to extend it for his adult children.
2. Again, I don't know Trump has done this yet.

President's Bush and Clinton both extended Secret Service protection for their adult children before they departed the White House and while Biden could revoke an EO, I would be shocked if he did.
3. We also don't know if Secret Service protection has been extended for VP Pence and Mrs. Pence. If my memory serves, Cheney got an additional 6 months of protection.

Other White House officials like NSA Robert O'Brien and Mark Meadows also had USSS details.
4. Finally, we don't know yet if Cabinet Secretaries like Mike Pompeo have received extended protection (in his case it would be Diplomatic security). In 2009, then Secretary of State Condi Rice received extended protection.
