Amid the list of executive orders signed by Donald Trump hours after taking oath as the 47th P🏅resident of the United States, the US president revoked Secret Service protection for his former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
Bolton, 76, has served in several senior national security positions in the Bush Administration 🏅and joined the Trump administration in 2018.
However, after T𓂃rump pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran, Bolton was fired from his position by Trump due to "various disagreements" in November 2019.
After leaving the White House, Bolton required Secret Service pro⛎tection due to various death threats issued against him from Iran.
Trump has revoked Bolton's detail in 2019 after h꧅e left the administratiꦏon. However, this protection was restored once Biden assumed office in 2020.
With Trump 2.0 underway, the US President has once again revoked John Bolton's security detail stating that "we're not going to have security on people for the🤡 rest of their lives."
"I thought he was a very dumb person but I used him well because every time people saw me come into a meetingꦓ with John Bolton standing behind me they thought that he'd attack them because he was a warmonger," Trump added.
Trump further accused his former NSA♛ of "revealing sensit𒀰ive information drawn from his time in government" in a critical memoir he published in 2020.
In Bolton's 2020 memoir, the government aide stated that Trump was "underinformed" in matter🦂s of foreign policy and focused only on shaping his media legacy. The former NSA added that Trump asked the leaders ﷽of Ukraine and China to help him win the 2020 elections.
Bolton reacted to the withdrawal of his security detai🔯l and stated that while he was disappointed, he was not surprised Trump did this.
"The Justice Department filed criminal charges against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official in 2022 for attempting to hire a hit man to target me. That 😼threat remains today, as also demonstrated by the recent arrest of someone trying to arrange for President Trump’s own assassination. The American people can judge for themselves which President made the right call," Bolt🧸on told CNN.
