Trump Revokes John Bolton's Secret Service Protection Within Hours of Second Term Amid Iranian Threats
Jan 21, 2025, 08:59 PM
President Donald Trump has terminated the Secret Service protection for his former national security adviser, John Bolton, within hours of taking office for his second term. Bolton, who served in the Trump administration until November 2019, had been granted Secret Service protection by the Biden administration in 2021 due to threats from Iran, including an assassination plot against him by an Iranian national charged by the Justice Department in 2022. The decision to remove Bolton's protection comes despite ongoing threats, as evidenced by the 2022 charge and recent attempts on Trump's life. Bolton expressed disappointment but not surprise at Trump's decision, noting that the threat from Iran persists. This move is part of a broader action by Trump to revoke security clearances and protections for several former officials and intelligence officers.
