On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump wasted no time ordering the Secret Service to stop protecting his former national security adviser, John Bolton, despite ongoing threats to Bolton's life, including plots by Iranian agents.
Bolton, a prominent critic of Trump, expressed his dismay on X saying, "I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service.... 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."
