Senator Tom Cotton expressed concern over President Trump's decision to remove security protections for former aides targeted by Iran. In a discussion with Shannon Bream, Cotton emphasized the real and persistent threats faced by individuals like Anthony Fauci and Mike Pompeo, particularly following Trump's strike on Iranian commander Qassim Suleimani. Cotton underlined the risks not just to these aides, but also their families and innocent bystanders, advocating for a reassessment of their security needs due to Iran's ongoing vows of vengeance against those involved in the drone strike.
I would encourage the president to revisit the decision for those people who are being targeted by Iran as the president was targeted for assassination by Iran.
As the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, I've reviewed the intelligence in the last few days. The threat to anyone involved in President Trump's strike on Qassim Suleimani is persistent. It's real.
There are gaps in our coverage. We don't know what we don't know. And it's better to be safe than sorry, because it's not just about these men.
If Iran commits violence against any of these men, Mr. Trump won't be able to escape some responsibility.
