David Urban, a former advisor to Trump, expressed strong support for John Bolton's protection following the termination of his Secret Service detail by Trump. Urban emphasized the moral obligation to safeguard individuals who face credible threats due to their service to the nation. Bolton confirmed the end of his protection and pointed out that an active threat against his life remains, linked to criminal charges filed against an Iranian official. Bolton also noted that Biden had extended his protection in 2021, contrasting the commitments of the two administrations.
I think John Bolton should be protected. If there's an active threat still on former ambassador Bolton's life, he should have security for as long as it takes.
If John Bolton did things in our nation's defense that put his life at risk, then he should be defended by our nation for as long as it takes.
Notwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden's national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to extend that protection to me in 2021.
The Justice Department filed criminal charges against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official in 2022 for attempting to hire a hit man to target me.
