Trump Revokes Security Details for Pompeo and Hook Amid Iran Threats
Jan 23, 2025, 04:59 PM
President Donald Trump has revoked the security details for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former top aide Brian Hook, despite warnings from the Biden administration about ongoing threats from Iran. The decision, reported by The New York Times, comes after both officials were involved in aggressive policies against Iran during Trump's first term, including the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassim Suleimani in early 2020. The security details, provided by the State Department, were pulled on Tuesday. This move follows Trump's recent decision to remove the Secret Service detail of former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who also faces threats from Iran. The revocation of security for Pompeo and Hook, who had been supportive of Trump, raises questions about the reasons behind the decision, especially as Trump has expressed reluctance to work with individuals associated with Pompeo from his first term.
