In a move that has drawn significant attention, former President Trump has revoked the federal security protection for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Covid adviser. This decision has sparked a debate over the safety of ex-officials, especially given that Fauci has reportedly received death threats. Trump defended his choice, stating that former aides can afford their own protection and expressing indifference to any potential harm that might come to them. The decision has forced Fauci to hire private security at his own expense. This action continues a trend, as Trump has previously stripped security details from other former officials including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo.
