Trump Revokes State-Funded Security for Pompeo and Hook on Tuesday Despite Iranian Threats
Jan 23, 2025, 04:13 PM
President Donald Trump has revoked the security details of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former top aide Brian Hook, despite ongoing threats from Iran, according to reports from The New York Times. Both officials were part of an aggressive stance against Iran during Trump's first term, notably involved in the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in early 2020. The decision to remove their security details, which were funded by the State Department, came on Tuesday, following a similar move to strip John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, of his Secret Service protection the day before. The Biden administration had previously warned of the continued threats from Iran to these former Trump officials, which had led to the extension of their security protections.
