Former NIH Director Anthony Fauci is paying for a security detail out of his pocket after President Donald Trump pulled the one that was being provided by the agency he led for decades, CNN reported on Friday.
Fauci decided to hire security on his own as he continues to face threats due to his role in fighting the Covid-19. He said at a House hearing during the past summer that there is a direct link between the rise in death threats against him and public figures connecting him to Covid-19-related conspiracy theories.
