Trump Ends Security for Death Threat Recipients
Despite intelligence warnings of Iranian plots targeting former officials, including John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Brian Hook, President Trump rescinded their government-provided security details upon his return to office. This decision, impacting individuals whose security threats stemmed directly from Trump’s policies, reflects a pattern of retribution against perceived disloyal former aides. Similarly, Dr. Anthony Fauci, also subject to ongoing threats, was stripped of his protection. Trump defended his actions, claiming former officials could afford private security, despite acknowledging the ongoing threats.
