Bolton says Trump ended his Secret Service protection
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | January 21st, 2025 | Filip Timotija

President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton said the president ended his Secret Service protection shortly after his return to the White House this week.

“I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service,” Bolton said in an emailed statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “Notwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden’s national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to extend that protection to me in 2021.”

Bolton has been a long-standing hawk toward Iran. He served during the first Trump administration until November 2019. After leaving the administration, he received assassination threats from Iran.

The former ambassador, who since leaving the White House has become a vocal Trump critic, had his security detail rescinded by Trump during his first White House term. Former President Biden reinstated and extended the protection in 2021, Bolton said.

No clearance, no security.

It sucks to be an enemy of the American People.

At least DOJ is not on his ass...yet.

Deep State probably doesn’t have a contract out on Bolton, like they obviously do on Trump.

Turkeys are in abundance around the compound.

No need for Federal protection.

Weren’t there efforts to deny President Trump security while campaigning? I’ll bet bricks are being dumped all over the sidewalks of DC.

I’m thinking this might be untrue.

If you had lots of enemies and were suddenly vulnerable would you broadcast it to the world?

Exactly. How many former government officials, beyond ex-presidents and vice presidents, warrant such costs on the American taxpayers?

DOGE, please fix!

Biden gave SS protection to Bolton but not the Supreme Court judges.

There's something particularly repulsive about a draft-dodging warmonger who is always hell-bent on sending other people to fight his stupid wars but demands government protection for himself.
