Senator Lindsey Graham has called for an investigation into President Trump's recent decision to withdraw security details from former adviser John Bolton. This controversial move has raised alarms, especially as Bolton himself pointed out ongoing threats against his life, including past attempts on him by foreign adversaries. In a CNN interview, Graham supported the notion that all government officials should be secured when credible threats exist, reflecting on intelligence briefings that underscore the seriousness of threats from Iran. He suggests the Senate should evaluate and establish clearer guidelines regarding security details for officials.
You know, whether you like John Bolton or not, that’s not the question for me, is it? You don’t want to leave people hanging. ... we need to make sure that if you serve in our government ... we do not leave you hanging.
Everybody doesn't deserve a detail all their life. It needs to be as needed. But ... the threat seemed to be real against these individuals. And I don’t want to leave them hanging.
