One Democratic House representative has filed legislation that aims to block convicted felons from being protected by the Secret Service.

Bennie Thompson introduced legislation on Friday that stated Secret Service protection would “terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”reasons those convicted of crimes and sentenced to prison would cause “potential for conflicting lines of authority within prisons.

Thompson is a Trump critic, as he was the Jan. 6 committee chairman and recently calledTrump’s hush money trial is in New York City and has been nothing short of a media and political extravaganza.
