President Trump justified the removal of security details for Dr. Anthony Fauci, John Bolton, and Mike Pompeo, suggesting that former government officials shouldn't retain protected status indefinitely. During a recent press conference, Trump stated that it's customary for officials to lose security after their service ends. He mentioned that these individuals have earned enough money to afford private security if necessary. According to reports, Fauci has already hired private security since the termination. This reflects Trump's broader view on the financial independence of former government officials regarding personal safety.
The security detail for Anthony Fauci was terminated last night, sir. Do you have a comment? TRUMP: No. I think, you know, when you work for government at some point your security detail comes off and you know, you can't have it forever.
They all made a lot of money. Fauci made a lot of money they all did. So if they, you know, felt that strongly, I think that certainly I would not take responsibility.
