President Trump has removed the Security Detail of John Bolton as of today at noon. Bolton was advised he would lose his security last night at 11:30 pm. Bolton claims there is a threat on his life from Iran.
News: BOLTON, in phone interview with me, says Secret Service called him at 11:30pm last night to say his protective detail ended today. It ended at noon. He said threat from Iran on his life and lives of other Americans continues nonetheless.

"About 11:30 last night," Bolton told me, he got a phone call from the U.S. Secret Service. "It was a call from the Secret Service, who said, in substance, that president decided to terminate the protection tomorrow at noon."

"I said, 'Thanks.' What else could I say."
He…
Welp, not much more to say than that. Trump had previously pulled his security clearance.
Trump didn’t just nuke the security clearances of every corrupt intel agent who signed the fraudulent Hunter Biden laptop letter.

He also specifically eliminated John Bolton’s security clearance. pic.twitter.com/fBo7hfezgq
Trump was very specific.

It seems Trump is not a fan.
So glad Bolton lost his security clearance and his ridiculous, completely unjustified Secret Service protection. And proof why Trump is the GOAT: pic.twitter.com/fn4Zigts37

This is a mistake.

If something happens to Bolton, it'll be on Trump's head.
And I don't even like Bolton... But we protect Americans from Iranians no matter what. https://t.co/En2gHS8eS2
Not surprisingly, thisaaaaaaaa as mixed reviews.
If guys like John Bolton did consulting work after they left the Trump administration that put them in the crosshairs of nations like Iran, why the hell should the American taxpayer foot the bill for security problems they caused themselves while in the private sector?

They can use some of that fat consulting cash.
John Bolton, a private citizen, should pay for his own security. Trump has made the right choice. Jack Smith must also stop bleeding taxpayers. He can take care of himself! Fauci, too.

He'll have to get used to being a regular schmegular person again who pays all their own bills.
Well President Trump doesn’t think you should have security clearance or a security detail John Bolton. FAFO! pic.twitter.com/B9dq1G425c

Bolton should have held his tongue if he wanted lifetime help with his security expenses. That was a dumb move.
John Bolton has made enough money selling out America to our enemies and betraying Trump and the Republican Party to easily afford to pay for a private security detail.

His security is not the American taxpayer’s responsibility. https://t.co/bRO1JAX8mR
It's time to fork out money for his own expenses. Fly out of the nest, little birdie.
