President Donald Trump has reportedly ended the federal security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the renowned infectious disease expert who played a pivotal role in advising on the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision marks Fauci as the latest among a series of former Trump aides-turned-critics to have their federal protection withdrawn, despite ongoing threats to their safety.
Trump, speaking in North Carolina, expressed that he would not bear any responsibility should any harm befall these former government officials. The termination of Fauci's federal security detail occurred on Thursday, as confirmed by a source familiar with the matter who chose to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of security issues. Subsequently, Fauci has opted to hire private security.
